m moved exceptional value instructions back to APACHE physiological variable collection because it's not part of selection or timing.

The ''Worst'' value could be '''high''' or '''low''', depending which gives the most [[APACHE Scoring table#Chemistry_values| points]].

Keep in mind the diagnosis and try not to include iatrogenically modified values, e.g. BP severely high due to inotropes or decreased LOC due to sedation.

=== Exceptionally high or low values ===
[[CCMDB.accdb]] has error checks for values that are ''unlikely'' high or low to prevent errors. The ranges were determined by the [[statistician]] based on previous data(see abs min and abs max in [[APACHE_Scoring_table]]). To keep the checks meaningful the threshold values will not be changed for extreme outliers. 
For values outside the '''"warning" limit''', you must '''enter the reason''' for this into the [[Notes field]] so that we can validate that these were not errors. <!-- as of [[CCMDB.mdb_Change_Log_2011#ver_2011-05-04]] -->
For values outside the '''"absolut" limit''', enter the '''closest value allowed''' and enter a comment into the [[Notes field]]. Also, '''email Pagasa the correct value'''.
