This article describes the use of various scores and probabilities to clinically categorize patients in the adult intensive care unit. Some of the limitations of these severity measures are reviewed including variable definitions, timing of measurements, and whether models can be used for individual patients. Also, this article discusses how probability models may be used to compare similar types of intensive care units using standardized clinical and cost performance indices.
本文描述了如何使用各种评分和概率对成人重症监护病房的患者进行临床分类。文中回顾了这些严重程度衡量指标的一些局限性，包括定义的差异、测量时间以及模型是否可用于个体患者。此外，本文还讨论了概率模型如何用于通过标准化临床和成本绩效指标比较类似类型的重症监护病房。
