Key result
Higher scores on APACHE-II, APACHE-IV, SAPS-2, and MPM0-III were all significantly associated with increased ICU mortality, with no single score showing clear superiority.
Why the study?
Various scoring systems predict ICU mortality, disease severity, and length of stay, but their validity needs to be demonstrated in the specific society where they are used.
Population
115 patients in an internal medicine intensive care unit in a tertiary hospital in Turkey
Comparison
APACHE-II vs APACHE-IV vs SAPS vs MPM0 scores
Design
Observational study

APACHE-II, APACHE-IV, SAPS-2, and MPM0-III scores are all effective predictors of mortality in internal medicine intensive care unit patients, with no single score demonstrating clear superiority.
Özen et al. (2022) conducted an observational in Internal medicine intensive care unit admission (n=115). Predictive scoring systems (APACHE-II, APACHE-IV, SAPS-2, MPM0-III) was evaluated on Intensive care unit mortality (OR 1.071, 95% CI 1.046-1.097, p=<0.001). Higher scores on APACHE-II, APACHE-IV, SAPS-2, and MPM0-III were all significantly associated with increased ICU mortality, with no single score showing clear superiority.
