ARF (APACHE): Difference between revisions

Revision as of 17:23, 2008 December 8

This applies to the APACHE II ARF checkbox only.

To put a checkmark in Acute Renal Failure (ARF) checkbox for ICU APACHE, a patient must meet both of the following criteria:

for 8 hrs consecutively in the first 24 hrs of ICU admission:
- creatinine > 133 mmols and
- urine < 135 cc

a patient who has a comorbid diagnosis Chronic Renal Failure (CRF) should not have a checkmark in this checkbox.

Are there any data integrity rules for this?
