Intra-observer variability in APACHE II scoring
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 scoring system in perforative peritonitis
American Journal of Surgery, 2007Prospective 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

This paper presents the form and validation results of APACHE II, a severity of disease classification system. APACHE II uses a point score based upon initial values of 12 routine physiologic measurements, age, and previous health status to provide a general measure of severity of disease. An increasing score (range 0 to 71) was closely correlated with

Predicting outcomes in organophosphate poisoning based on APACHE II and modified APACHE II scores
Human & Experimental Toxicology, 2007The aim of this study was to evaluate the scores of the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II and a modified APACHE II system (MAS), without parameters of biochemical tests; and to find prognostic value of individual elements of the APACHE II and MAS in predicting outcomes in organophosphate (OP) poisoning. Data were collected from

APACHE II scoring in the injured patient
Critical Care Medicine, 1990The 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
