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 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).

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.

Continuing to use APACHE II scores ensures consistency

BMJ, 2000
EDITOR—Shann criticises the use of the APACHE II scoring system as an audit tool for intensive care performance.1 He has two main arguments. Firstly, he says that the system is outdated in that it reflects North American standards in the early 1980s.
