Supports SAPS 3-SE for Brazilian ICU benchmarking; extends prior validations while leaving calibration durability open.
Moralez et al. (2017) conducted a cohort in Critical illness (ICU admission) (n=48,816). SAPS 3 standard equation (SAPS 3-SE) vs. MPM0-III and SAPS 3 customized equation (SAPS 3-CSA) was evaluated on In-hospital mortality prediction (Standardized Mortality Ratio) (SMR 1.00, 95% CI 0.98-1.02). The SAPS 3 standard equation accurately predicted hospital mortality with a standardized mortality ratio of 1.00, outperforming the MPM0-III and SAPS 3 customized equations.
