Key result
Both APACHE IV (AUC 0.701) and SAPS II (AUC 0.723) scoring systems were inaccurate in predicting overall mortality in critically ill patients in an Indian ICU.
Why the study?
APACHE IV and SAPS II are ICU scoring systems used to predict mortality, but their comparative mortality prediction in an Indian ICU needed evaluation.
Does APACHE IV compared to SAPS II accurately predict mortality and length of stay in critically ill patients in an Indian ICU?
Observational (n=225)
No
Does APACHE IV compared to SAPS II accurately predict mortality and length of stay in critically ill patients in an Indian ICU?
Both APACHE IV and SAPS II scoring systems were found to be inaccurate in predicting overall mortality and length of stay in an Indian ICU setting.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May not reliably predict mortality in Indian ICUs; leaves open validation of locally derived prognostic tools.
Anil Kalarickal (2022) conducted an observational in Critically ill patients in the ICU (n=225). APACHE IV and SAPS II scoring systems was evaluated on Mortality prediction. Both APACHE IV (AUC 0.701) and SAPS II (AUC 0.723) scoring systems were inaccurate in predicting overall mortality in critically ill patients in an Indian ICU.
