APACHE III scores for a patient in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) can be used during the course of the hospitalization to predict the patient's mortality risk.
Protocol:
(1) For every day in the ICU an APACHE III score is recorded.
(2) Multivariate equations were developed to use these daily APACHE III scores to generate a daily risk prediction.
daily risk =
= (acute physiology score from day 1) + (acute physiology score for current day) + (change in acute physiology score since day before)
The multivariate equations are copyrighted. They are not published in the literature but are available to subscribers of the commercial system.
