The Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation System (APACHE II) was used in 451 patients admitted to the intensive care unit, Belfast City Hospital, in 1988 and 1989. Mortality in the patients studied was 15.5% which is slightly less than that predicted for patients with equal severity of disease (18.8%). Within the limitations discussed the APACHE II system has valuable potential both in terms of predictive power and as a means of audit.
1988年和1989年,贝尔法斯特市医院重症监护病房收治的451例患者采用了急性生理与慢性健康评估系统(APACHE II)。所研究患者的死亡率为15.5%,略低于疾病严重程度相同的患者所预测的死亡率(18.8%)。在所述局限性范围内,APACHE II系统在预测能力和作为一种审计手段方面都具有宝贵的潜力。
