Why the study?

Does the ASDI data set using SAPS II and TISS-28 accurately predict outcomes and assess provided care in Austrian ICUs?

Population

1234 patients consecutively admitted to 9 adult medical, surgical, and mixed ICUs in Austria.

Design

Cohort

Authors

Discussion

SAPS II should not guide unadjusted mortality predictions or ICU benchmarking in Austria; leaves open need for local customization and validation.

Does the ASDI data set using SAPS II and TISS-28 accurately predict outcomes and assess provided care in Austrian ICUs?

Population

1234 patients consecutively admitted to 9 adult medical, surgical, and mixed ICUs in Austria.

Intervention

Collection of data for the ASDI data set (SAPS II and TISS-28 scoring)

Outcome

Hospital mortality prediction accuracy (SAPS II) and level of provided care (TISS-28)

The SAPS II score overestimates hospital mortality in Austrian ICUs and requires customization for accurate performance evaluation.

Metnitz et al. (1999) studied this question.
