APACHE II

Critical Care Medicine, 1985
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

Interobserver variability in the use of APACHE II scores

The Lancet, 1999
2and the simplified acute physiology score (SAPS) are widely used to assess outcome and quality of care in intensive care units. In spite of the widespread use and general acceptance of these scoring systems, there is little information on their reliability and on inter-observer variability in their use.

The significance of APACHE II as a predictor of mortality in paraquat poisoning: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Journal of Forensic and Legal Medicine, 2023
The Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) scoring system is utilised as a prognostic method in paraquat poisoning; however, current evidence shows ambiguity. Although some studies have shown APACHE II to be a superior tool, others

Prognostic utilization of models based on the APACHE II, APACHE IV, and SAPS II scores for predicting in-hospital mortality in emergency department.

American Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2020
BACKGROUND This study was designed to evaluate and compare the prognostic value of the APACHE II, APACHE IV, and SAPSII scores for predicting in-hospital mortality in the ED on a large sample of patients.

Predicting outcomes in organophosphate poisoning based on APACHE II and modified APACHE II scores

Human & Experimental Toxicology, 2007
The 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 score validation in emergency abdominal surgery. A post hoc analysis of the InCare trial

Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica, 2020
Patients undergoing emergency abdominal surgery are at high risk of morbidity and mortality. Accurate identification of high‐risk patients is important.

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 ...
