There are some specific rules to follow in choosing which one of several lab results to collect.

See APACHE physiological variable collection for details.

The HCT contain's a patient's hematocrit value. We collect it for generating the APACHE score.

  • Select the WORST deviation from normal during the first 24 hours in ICU.
  • Hematocrit (HCT) is recorded as a percentage, e.g. 0.352 record as 35.2
