- the database program has never utilized the information from this field since starting data collection.
- this field is not part of the APACHE II Score nor is it use in the prediction of death formula.
- current data collection defaults active TX to YES for all patients
- To meet the criteria of “active treatment” a patient must have one or more of the active therapies from a list of 27 items (TX therapies -items are available from the TISS). If none of these therapies apply then a patient is considered to be admitted form “monitoring” only.
