Key result
A newly developed severity of illness score correctly indicated patient outcome in 96% of the index population and 94% of an independent prospective population.
Why the study?
Does a new quantitative severity index based on hemodynamic and oxygen transport variables predict survival in critically ill surgical patients?

Does a new quantitative severity index based on hemodynamic and oxygen transport variables predict survival in critically ill surgical patients?
A newly developed severity index based on hemodynamic and oxygen transport variables accurately predicts survival in critically ill surgical patients.
Bland et al. (1985) conducted an observational in Critically ill surgical patients (n=220). Probability of survival severity score was evaluated on Correct indication of patient outcome. A newly developed severity of illness score correctly indicated patient outcome in 96% of the index population and 94% of an independent prospective population.
