This is about the disease category which is one of the components in the model of predicting hospital mortality. The other components of the model are the [[APACHE Score]] and the presence or absence of Emergency Surgery .

This is about the disease category which is one of the components in the model of predicting hospital mortality. The other components of the model are the [[APACHE Score]] and the presence or absence of [[Emergency Surgery (concept)]].

This is not about [[Chronic Health APACHE]] or the [[APACHE Comorbid Diagnoses]].

== Background ==

*Each disease category or diagnosis leading to ICU admission has an associated weight in the model and varies for non-operative and post-operative patients.

*There are weights for specific diagnosis categories and for major organ systems. The specific diagnosis category leading to ICU admission will first be determined and if found none, then the major organ system will be used instead.

*The diagnosis with the highest weight is assigned to the patient.

*The list of diagnosis categories is shown in [[APACHE Acute Dxs in ICD10 codes]]

The {{PAGENAME}} is a component of the [[APACHE Score]]. This is not collected specifically, but instead assigned behind the scenes based on whether any of the Admit Diagnosis is on a list of diagnoses that correspond to the diagnoses in the original Apache study.
