View source for Risk of Death Calculation for APACHE II

*This calculation is use to compute predicted the risk of hospital death for groups of acutely ill patients.  

*Dr. Carla Chrusch had mapped our diagnosis codes to the APACHE II Diagnostic Categories.
*APACHE II Diagnostic categories are currently part of our Standard Quarterly & Annual database reports.

*To computer the risk (R) of hospital death for each individual patient we use the following formula:
*ln(r/l-R)=3.517+(APACHE II score x 0.146) + (0.603, only if post emergency surgery) + (APACHE II diagnostic category weight)

*-ve coefficient = good prognosis
*+ve coefficient = bad prognosis
