APACHE II, data accuracy and outcome prediction [PDF]
Anaesthesia, 1998 From review of 122 intensive care charts, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II points were determined for eight physiological values. Using a strict interpretation of APACHE II criteria, an average of 20.6% of these points were higher and 6.7% lower than the points entered originally into an intensive care database.

Daily Improvement in APACHE II Score (APACHE/m) and Outcomes in ICU Trauma Patients. [PDF]
Risk Manag Healthc PolicyThe Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) is a widely used intensive care unit (ICU) severity score; however, it provides only an admission snapshot. Therefore, we introduced a novel metric, APACHE/m (average daily decrease in APACHE II score during ICU stay), to examine whether faster physiological improvement was correlated ...

The predictive value of the lactate/albumin ratio combined with APACHE II and injury severity score for short-term prognosis in patients with polytrauma [PDF]
European Journal of Medical ResearchBackground Polytrauma is the simultaneous or sequential occurrence of injuries. Current prognostic indicators of this condition have limitations. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between lactate/albumin ratio (LAR) and short-term prognosis

The impact of low-risk intensive care unit admissions on mortality probabilities by SAPS II, APACHE II and APACHE III [PDF]
Anaesthesia, 2002 A large proportion of intensive care unit patients are low‐risk admissions. Mortality probabilities generated by predictive systems may not accurately reflect the mortality experienced by subpopulations of critically ill patients. We prospectively assessed the impact of low‐risk admissions (mortality risk < 10%) on the mortality
