Statistical validation of a severity of illness measure
This paper provides statistical detail on the predictive power of a new severity of illness scale--APACHE (Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation)--on 833 consecutive medical admissions to an intensive care unit (ICU). In a multivariate logistic regression analysis of routine physiologic and other data obtained within 24 hours of ICU admission, severity of illness and age were significantly (p less than .0001) related to survival. Using t…
Severity of illness and the relationship between intensive care and survival
Currently about 15 per cent of hospital costs are attributed to intensive care. Research using statistical models has not adequately demonstrated that therapy in intensive care units (ICUs) is associated with reductions in the probability of death. In a study of 613 consecutive admissions to a multidisciplinary ICU, we reevaluate the relationship between ICU care and survival using a new acute physiology scoring system to control for the severity…
