The '''AP Sys BP''' data input field records systolic BP.
The '''AP Sys BP''' data input field records systolic blood pressure collected as per the [[:category:APACHE II]] [[Mean BP|Mean Blood Pressure Instructions]].


*'''[[APACHE II]]''' - uses the [[Mean BP | Mean BP]] to score points.
''Note: The BP items are separated here on the WIKI however, this does not mean that you pick a systolic value from one BP reading and a diastolic value from another BP reading when selecting worst BP for APACHE II. ''
*for APACHE II - the worst Blood Pressure reading (SYSTOLIC/DIASTOLIC) that gives you the worst mean BP is recorded during the first 24 hours in the ICU.


**The BP items are separated here on the WIKI however, this does not mean that you pick a systolic value from one BP reading and a diastolic value from another BP reading when selecting worst BP for APACHE II.  
This value is also used by the '''[[MOST]]''' score.  


 
==Discussion==
*'''[[MOST]]''' - uses the SYSTOLIC BP value only to score points.
*Previously this read:
*for MOST - Value selected is one that is "'''closest to the time'''" the medicine service physician "accepts" the patient to the medicine service from the emergency department.  
**for MOST - Value selected is one that is "'''closest to the time'''" the medicine service physician "accepts" the patient to the medicine service from the emergency department.  
* There is a problem with that. If Julie has been using the AP Sys BP field then the instruction for collection would have been to follow the [[Mean BP]]. Are the instructions different for medicine and ICU?
