  • 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)
  • -ve coefficient = good prognosis
  • +ve coefficient = bad prognosis
