Key result
Both APACHE II and SAPS II scoring systems showed poor calibration and underestimated hospital mortality, with APACHE II performing better than SAPS II in this Greek ICU population.

APACHE II and SAPS II require local validation before clinical use in Greek ICUs; leaves open whether population-specific recalibration improves calibration.

Do APACHE II and SAPS II scoring systems accurately predict hospital mortality in a Greek ICU population?
APACHE II and SAPS II scoring systems underestimated mortality and showed poor calibration in a Greek ICU population, highlighting the need for local validation of ICU scoring systems.
Katsaragakis et al. (2000) conducted a cohort in ICU admission (n=661). APACHE II and SAPS II scoring systems vs. Each other was evaluated on Hospital mortality (calibration and discrimination of scoring systems). Both APACHE II and SAPS II scoring systems showed poor calibration and underestimated hospital mortality, with APACHE II performing better than SAPS II in this Greek ICU population.
