- 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
