Do admission SOFA, APACHE IV, and SAPS II scores predict short-term mortality in adult patients with acute myocarditis?
Admission SAPS II, APACHE IV, and SOFA scores are independent predictors of short-term mortality in adult patients with acute myocarditis, with SAPS II demonstrating the highest predictive accuracy.
Sun et al. (2017) conducted a cohort in acute myocarditis (n=305). SOFA, APACHE IV, and SAPS II scoring systems was evaluated on short-term mortality. Admission SAPS II, APACHE IV, and SOFA scores independently predicted short-term mortality in adult patients with acute myocarditis, with SAPS II demonstrating the highest predictive accuracy.
