- 1Score 12 variables: heart rate, mean BP, temperature, respiratory rate, oxygenation, pH, sodium, potassium, creatinine, hematocrit, WBC, Glasgow Coma
- 2Add age score and chronic health points
- 3Total 0-71; higher indicates mortality risk
Worked Examples
Инпут
Multiple abnormal vitals and labs in ICU patient
Резултат
APACHE II = 25 (moderate-high risk)
Extensive calculation
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- ✕Recalculating after initial admission (only first 24 hours counts)
- ✕Omitting any of the 12 components
Frequently Asked Questions
When is APACHE II useful?
Predicting ICU mortality, comparing patient cohorts, and understanding disease severity at admission.
What are limitations?
Requires many variables, doesn't predict individual outcomes well, and is computationally complex.
