Severity of Illness and Organ Failure Assessment in Adult Intensive Care Units
Section snippets
Model creation
Development of a prognostic model requires the identification of reliable predictive variables, precise definition of predictor and outcome variables, collection of data on the predictive and outcome variables, analysis of the relationship between the predictor and outcome variables, and validation of this relationship in a new independent database [12]. Predictor variables entered in a model should be routinely available, reliable, and independent of ICU intervention to eliminate treatment
Introduction/creation
Multiple organ failure is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the ICU. The main treatment plans of critically ill patients depend on supporting failing organs. Initial and sequential assessments of the failing organs provide information about the patients' prognoses as well as the effectiveness of treatment. Several models have been developed to assess the degree of organ dysfunction [10]. Most organ failure assessment systems assign values to six organ systems: respiratory,

2018, Journal of Critical CareCitation Excerpt :To assess the discriminative ability of mAPACHE for ICU and 30-day death, we created a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and calculated the area under the curve (AUC). Discrimination is perfect, excellent, very good, good, moderate, and poor when the AUC is 1, 0.9 to 0.99, 0.8 to 0.80, 0.7 to 0.79, 0.6 to 0.69, or < 0.6, respectively [21]. To assess the calibration of the mAPACHE, we used the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit statistic and calculated the difference between the observed and expected mortality across equal-sized deciles of risk for death [22,23].
