apachePatientResult

Purpose: Provides predictions made by the APACHE score (versions IV and IVa), including probability of mortality, length of stay, and ventilation days.

Important considerations

  • APACHE defines actual hospital mortality by an admission, discharge, transfer (ADT) hospital disposition as “expired” or “dead”. ICU mortality is defined as a unit dispostion in the ADT system as “expired” or “dead”. Some patients will have more than one ICU admission. For each ICU admission the patient will have a disposition of either dead (expired) or alive.
  • Predicted mortality is the percent risk of death for an individual patient. This is displayed as decimal. The sum of every patient’s risk of death within the population of interest equals the number of deaths predicted in that population.
  • APACHE ICU length of stay refers to the number of days and partial days that a patient was in an ICU. Hospital LOS represents the total number of days and partial days that a patient was in the hospital during a unique hospitalization.
  • Patients with an ICU stay less than 4 hours, most transplant patients, burn patients, and patients less than sixteen years of age will be classified as non-predictive.
