Caution advised before deploying SAPS II or MPM0 in new ICUs; challenges generalizability and leaves open recalibration research.
Do the SAPS II and MPM0 models accurately predict mortality in an independent international multicenter ICU patient database?
General outcome prediction models like SAPS II and MPM0 require validation in the target population before use, as they may not accurately predict mortality in independent cohorts.
Moreno et al. (1998) studied this question.
