A good overall assessment of the severity of illnesses of patients admitted to a general intensive care unit (ICU) is not without problems. The APACHE (acute physiology and chronic health evaluation) prognostic scoring system enables us to stratify acutely ill patients and compare efficiency of ICU therapy in different hospitals. This preliminary study carried out on 100 consecutive admissions to the ICU in University Hospital, Kuala Lumpur showed the spectrum of ICU admissions and the direct relationship between APACHE II score and mortality.
对入住综合重症监护病房（ICU）患者的疾病严重程度进行全面评估并非没有问题。急性生理与慢性健康状况评估（APACHE）预后评分系统使我们能够对急重症患者进行分层，并比较不同医院ICU治疗的效果。这项在吉隆坡大学医院对100例连续入住ICU的患者进行的初步研究显示了ICU入院患者的情况以及APACHE II评分与死亡率之间的直接关系。
