Why the study?
Prognostic scores like SAPS and APACHE are essential for predicting ICU mortality, but their performance needed evaluation in a cardiac intensive care unit.
Do SAPS 3 and APACHE II scores accurately predict mortality in patients admitted to a cardiac intensive care unit?
Do SAPS 3 and APACHE II scores accurately predict mortality in patients admitted to a cardiac intensive care unit?
SAPS 3 BR may be preferred over APACHE II for CICU mortality prediction; extends validation of customized scores to this population.[[1]](https://ijcscardiol.
