APACHE-II scoring system in perforative peritonitis

The American Journal of Surgery, 2007
Prospective assessment of the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation-II (APACHE-II) scoring system of stratification of disease severity has been shown to provide objective discrimination between low-risk and high-risk groups of patients with intra-abdominal sepsis. The current study was undertaken to evaluate the performance of APACHE-II score

APACHE II scoring in the injured patient

Critical Care Medicine, 1990
The purpose of this study was to measure the predictive power of Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE II) with respect to mortality in a group of seriously injured patients and to compare this predictive power with that of the Trauma Score (TS) and the Injury Severity Score (ISS). Six hundred ninety-one helicopter-transported patients

Intra-observer variability in APACHE II scoring

Intensive Care Medicine, 2001
Although the APACHE II score is the most widely used scoring system in intensive care units worldwide, its reliability and variability have not been extensively studied. Differences in case-mix may complicate comparison and interpretation of results. We hypothesised that a degree of variability might be inherent to use of the APACHE II scoring system ...

APACHE II in Surgical Lung Carcinoma Patients

Chest, 1990
Recent extensive development of thoracic surgery meets the need to treat elderly patients with a wide variety of pathophysiologic alterations, even if they require continuous medical assistance and high technologic support. Methods in providing such care are still limited by imprecision in evaluation of results; in this setting, a severity of disease ...

APACHE II Score in Abdominal Sepsis

Archives of Surgery, 1988
To the Editor .—I read with interest the recent article by Bohnen et al 1 that represents the first published prospective effort to validate the pretreatment APACHE II score in abdominal sepsis. During the past 18 months we have been conducting a prospective study examining the value of intraoperative peritoneal lavage with saline solution and ...

APACHE II Score and Abdominal Sepsis

Archives of Surgery, 1988
Therapeutic trials for intra-abdominal sepsis require pretreatment stratification; physiologic scoring has been recently proposed for this purpose. We have prospectively tested the validity of one such scoring system, namely, the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE II).

Comparison of Ranson, APACHE II and APACHE III Scoring Systems in Acute Pancreatitis

Pancreas, 2002
Acute pancreatitis runs an unpredictable course. The early prediction of the severity of an acute attack has important implications for management and timely intervention.To assess the prognostic accuracy of Ranson and APACHE II and III scoring systems in predicting the severity of acute pancreatitis.One hundred fifty-three patients with acute ...

APACHE II in emergency operations for perforated ulcers

The American Journal of Surgery, 1990
Most reports concerning the management of patients with perforated peptic ulcers suffer from inadequate documentation of the severity of illness and the operative risk of these patients. This study attempts to evaluate the prognostic value of the APACHE II scoring system in a homogeneous group of patients with perforated peptide ulcers, to assess it as

Mortality predicted by APACHE II

Anaesthesia, 1996
Summary The contribution of physiological values to the APACHE II score was determined by retrospective analysis of 11 348 patients undergoing intensive care. Eleven physiological variables contributed a mean of 8.9 points, 54% of the total APACHE II score.
