| * Generally, if a pH value is present, other ABG values will be present as well. However, what if only a pH value is present? Should it's score be summed into the physiological score or not? The [https://sci-hub.se/10.1097/00003246-198510000-00009 original paper] appears to not be clear on this. We only have 2 records in our DB that have pH without other ABG values, and for one the pH score is 0, so Julie and Tina didn't notice this difference until now. Interpretations are:
| |
| ** reasoning to include in sum, Julie's interpretation: "under DEVELOPMENT OF APACHE “ …and serum pH was retained in preference to bicarbonate”"
| |
| ** reasoning to exclude it, Tina's interpretation: Paper said “Serum HCO2 … [Not preferred, use if no ABGs]”. So, ''any'' ABGs missing, I use SerCO2 instead.

| * Tina emailed Julie to confirm if she does a score-all, or ((score SerCO2) or (FIO2, PO2, CO2))+pH [[User:Ttenbergen|Ttenbergen]] 14:08, 2023 January 11 (CST)
