Does SAPS III improve the prediction of hospital mortality compared to SAPS II and APACHE II in surgical ICU patients > 90 years old?
SAPS III is superior to SAPS II and APACHE II for predicting hospital mortality in surgical ICU patients over 90 years of age.
Patil et al. (2014) conducted an observational in Surgical and ICU mortality (n=951). SAPS III scoring system vs. SAPS II and APACHE II scoring systems was evaluated on Prediction of hospital mortality. The SAPS III scoring system predicted hospital mortality in surgical ICU patients >90 years old with an area under the ROC curve of 0.81, outperforming SAPS II (0.75) and APACHE II (0.74).
