Risk of Death Calculation for APACHE II: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 21:18, 2008 December 8

This calculation is use to compute the predicted 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)
