- This calculation is used to compute the predicted risk of hospital death for groups of acutely ill patients.
- Our program does not use this model for our Regional Stat Reports
- Our Database Diagnosis Codes are mapped to the APACHE II Diagnostic Categories but we do not use this model to predict risk of hospital death in our Regional Stat Reports.
- to see the code map marco, refer to: Mapping Database Diagnosis Codes to APACHE II.
- 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 Categories weight)
- -ve coefficient = good prognosis
- +ve coefficient = bad prognosis
