Does the SAPS 3 scoring system accurately predict hospital mortality in Korean medical ICU patients compared to SAPS II?
The SAPS 3 and Australasia SAPS 3 scoring systems showed good calibration but modest discrimination for predicting hospital mortality in a Korean medical ICU, suggesting a need for a Korea-specific customized equation.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May favor SAPS 3 variants over SAPS II in Korean ICUs; leaves open need for local customization.
