Background: To determine the prognostic value of the initial APACHE II score in the ED compared with the classic APACHE II score in the ICU and to check the usefulness of the MEDS score together for more rapid risk stratification of septic patients admitted to the ICU via the ED. Methods: We prospectively checked the initial APACHE II and MEDS scores of all the patients who had systemic inflammatory response syndrome in the ED and the classic APACHE II scores after admission to the ICU, as well 6 months later. We enrolled the only sepsis cases in the final diagnosis after reviewing the medical records. We evaluated the predictive abilities of the initial APACHE II and MEDS scores compared with the classic APACHE II score. Results: During 6 months, 58 patients diagnosed with sepsis were enrolled. Twenty-four (41.4%) patients died within 28 days of admission and 34 patients survived. The mortality group had a significantly higher mean classic APACHE II score (19 ± 6.7 vs. 15 ± 5.0, p < 0.01) and a higher mean MEDS score (16.67 ± 2.70 vs. 8.91 ± 3.11, p < 0.01) than the survivor group. The initial APACHE II score at the ED was not significantly different between the two groups. ROC analysis showed the discriminative power of the MEDS score in predicting mortality was much better than the APACHE II score (areas under the curves of the APACHE II score in the ED and ICU, and the MEDS scores were 0.668, 0.807, and 0.967, respectively; p < 0.01). Conclusions: The initial APACHE II score in the ED did not predict mortality better than the classic APACHE II score. However, the MEDS score predicted the poor prognosis of septic patients more rapidly and accurately in the ED than the APACHE II model.

연구배경: 중환자의 예후를 정량화하는 체점체계 중 APACHE III system은 중환자실 제 1병일 점수는 물론 일갱신 점수도 환자의 위험도를 갱신하는 것이 알려진 바 있어 패혈증 환자들에서 APACHE III score의 예후 지표로서의 가치를 알아 보고자 하였다. 방법: 48명의 패혈증 환자들에서 후향적으로 중환자실 제 1병일, 2병일 및 3병일의 APACHE III score를 조사하여 패혈증 생존자와 비생존자 간의 차이를 분석하였다. 결과: 패혈증 생존자는 비생존자에 비해 APACHE III system에 따른 중환자실 제 1병일 정수가 유의하게 낮았으며, 제 2일 및 제 3일의 점수도 각각의 전날 점수에 비해 유의하게 감소하였다. 폐혈증 비생존자의 경우 제 1병일 점수가 생존자에 비해 높았고, 제 2병일 및 제 3병일 점수 역시 각각의 전날 점수에 비해 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 결론: APACHE III system에 따른 제 1병일 점수 및 제 3병일까지의 점수의 일변동은 패혈증 환자의 예후를 반영하는 것으로 사려된다. Background: The index which could predict the prognosis of critically ill patients is needed to find out high risk patients and to individualize their treatment. The APACHE III scoring system was established in 1991, but there has been only a few studies concerning its prognostic value. We wanted to know whether the APACHE III scores have prognostic value in discriminating survivors from nonsurvivors in sepsis. Methods: In 48 patients meeting the Bones criteria for sepsis, we retrospectively surveyed the day 1(D1), day 2(D2) and day 3(D3) scores of patients who were admitted to intensive care unit. The scores of the sepsis survivors and nonsurvivors were compared in respect to the D1 score, and also in respect to the changes of the updated D2 and D3 scores. Results: 1) Of the 48 sepsis patients, 21(43.5%) survived and 27(56.5%) died. The nonsurvivors were older($62.7{\pm}12.6$ vs $51.1{\pm}18.1$ yrs), presented with lower mean arterial pressure($56.9{\pm}26.2$ vs $67.7{\pm}14.2\;mmHg$) and showed greater number of multisystem organ failure($1.2{\pm}0.8$ vs $0.2{\pm}0.4$) than the survivors(p<0.05, respectively). There were no significant differences in sex and initial body temperature between the two groups. 2) The D1 score was lower in the survivors (n=21) than in the nonsurvivors ($44.1{\pm}14.6$, $78.5{\pm}18.6$, p=0.0001). The D2 and D3 scores significantly decreased in the survivors (D1 vs D2, $44.1{\pm}14.6$ : $37.9{\pm}15.0$, p=0.035; D2 vs D3, $37.9{\pm}15.0$ : $30.1{\pm}9.3$, p=0.0001) but showed a tendency to increase in the nonsurvivors (D1 vs D2 (n=21), $78.5{\pm}18.6$ : $81.3{\pm}23.0$, p=0.1337; D2 vs D3 (n=11), $68.2{\pm}19.3$ : $75.3{\pm}18.8$, p=0.0078). 3) The D1 scores of 12 survivors and 6 nonsurvivors were in the same range of 42~67 (mean D1 score, $53.8{\pm}10.0$ in the survivors, $55.3{\pm}10.3$ in the nonsurvivors). The age, sex, initial body temperature, and mean arterial pressure were not different between the two groups. In this group, however, D2 and D3 was significantly decreased in the survivors(D1 vs D2, $53.3{\pm}10.0$ : $43.6{\pm}16.4$, p=0.0278; D2 vs D3, $43.6{\pm}16.4$ : $31.2{\pm}10.3$, p=0.0005), but showed a tendency to increase in the nonsurvivors(D1 vs D2 (n=6), $55.3{\pm}10.3:66.7{\pm}13.9$, p=0.1562; D2 vs D3 (n=4), $64.0{\pm}16.4:74.3{\pm}18.6$, p=0.1250). Among the individual items of the first day APACHE III score, only the score of respiratory rate was capable of discriminating the nonsurvivors from the survivors ($5.5{\pm}2.9$ vs $1.9{\pm}3.7$, p=0.046) in this group. Conclusion: In sepsis, nonsurvivors had higher first day APACHE III score and their updated scores on the following days failed to decline but showed a tendency to increase. Survivors, on the other hand, had lower first day score and showed decline in the updated APACHE scores. These results suggest that the first day and daily updated APACHE III scores are useful in predicting the outcome and assessing the response to management in patients with sepsis.

연구배경 : 중환자의 예후를 계량화 하려는 채점 체계 중 APACHE III 체계는 중환자실 제1병일 접수는 물론 일 갱선점수도 중환자의 예후를 예측할 수 있는 것으로 알려져 왔다. 평균 재원일이 외국과 비교하여 3-4배의 차이가 나는 점을 감안하면, 일 갱신점수는 예후를 판정하는 지표로서 경제적 효율성이 떨어진다. 이에 제7병일(평균 중간 재원일)의 APACHE III 점수의 임상적 유용성에 관해 알아 보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 1997년 6월부터 1998년 4월까지 한양대학교 구리병원 내파계 중환자실에 입원한 241명의 제1병일과 7병일 APACHE III 점수를 조사하여 생존군과 비생존군 간의 차이를 분석하였다. 결 과 : 전체 환자 수는 241명으로 이 중 사망자가 65명으로 26.6%의 사망률을 나타내었으며 평균 재원일 수는 $10.3{\pm}13.8$일이였다. 제1병일 APACHE III 점수는 $59.7{\pm}30.9$, 제7병일 APACHE III 점수는, $37.9{\pm}27.7$점이였다. 제1병일과 제7병일 APACHE III 점수는 생존군과 비생존군에서 $49.9{\pm}23.8$, $86.3{\pm}32.3$점, $30.1{\pm}18.5$, $81.1{\pm}30.4$점으로 유의한 차이를 보였다(P<0.0001, P<0.0001). APACHE III 점수가 사망률에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 로지스틱 회귀분석을 시행한 결과 제1병일과 제7병영일의 비차비(odds ratio)는 각각 1.0507, 1.0779로 유의한 결과를 나타내었다(P<0.0001). 결 론 : 이상의 결과로서 제1병일 APACHE III 점수 뿐 아니라 제7병일 점수 또한 사망률 예측과 입원 후 치료 경과에 의해 변화된 예후를 평가하기에 유용한 척도임을 알 수 있었다. 평균 중간 재원일인 제7병일 APACHE III 점수는 일 갱선점수가 경제적으로 물적, 인적 비용이 많이 드는 상황에서 비용효과면에서 임상의에게 도움을 줄 수 있다고 판단된다. Background : Most current research using prognostic scoring systems in critically ill patients have focused on prediction using the first intensive care unit (ICU) day data or daily updated data. Usually the mean ICU length of stay in Korea is longer than in the western world. Consequently, a more cost-effective and practical prognostic parameter is required. The principal aim of this study was to assess the prognostic value of the seventh day(7th day : the average mean ICU length of stay) APACHE III score in a medical intensive care unit. Methods : 241 medical ICU patients from July 1997 to April 1998 were enrolled. The 1st and 7th scores were measured by using the APACHE III scoring system and compared between survivors and non-survivors. Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the relationship between the $1^{st}$ and $7^{th}$ APACHE III scores and the mortality risk. Results : 1 )The mean length of stay in the ICU was $10.3{\pm}13.8$ days. 2)The mean $1^{st}$ and $7^{th}$ day APACHE III scores were $59.7{\pm}30.9$ and $37.9{\pm}27.7$. 3) The mean $1^{st}$ day APACHE III score was significantly lower in survivors than in non- survivors($49.9{\pm}23.8$ vs $86.3{\pm}32.3$, P<0.0001). 4)The mean $7^{th}$ day APACHE III score was significantly lower in survivors than in non- survivors($30.1{\pm}18.5$ vs $80.1{\pm}30.4$, P<0.0001). 5)The odds ratios among the $1^{st}$ and $7^{th}$ day APACHE III scores and the mortality rate were 1.0507 and 1.0779 respectively. Conclusion : These results suggest that the seventh day APACHE III score is as useful in predicting the outcome as is such like the first day APACHE III score. Therefore, in comparison to the daily APACHE III score, measuring the $1^{st}$ and $7^{th}$ day APACHE III scores are also useful for predicting the prognosis of critically ill patients in terms of cost-effectiveness. It is suggested that the $7^{th}$ day APACHE III score is useful for predicting the clinical outcome.

N/A Background: Massive hemoptysis is one of the major medical emergency with high risk of mortality. Though the best predictor of mortality associated with hemoptysis appears to be the amount of bleeding within the first 24 hours, catastrophic hemorrhage could be occurred to the patients who were apparently in a stable condition with scanty hemoptysis at the time of admission. We evaluated APACHE III score system to find if it could be a prognostic index that can predict the mortality of the patients with hemoptysis. Methods : We identified all the patients who had admitted with hemoptysis in the Medical Intensive Care Unit of Asan Medical Center between May 25, 1989, and July 31, 1995. A retrospective analysis was done in 66 patients with hemoptysis on APA- CHE III score. Results: The overall mortality rate was 17.4% (12/69). In univariate analysis of possible prognostic factors, independent predictors of mortality were age(P=0.016), amount of hemoptysis(P=0.012), AaDO2 (P=0.017), requirement of transfusion(P=0.036), mechanical ventilatory care(P<0.05) and APACHE III score(P=0.02), In multivariate analysis with sex, age, amount of hemoptysis, AaDO2, requirement of transfusion and APACHE III score, APACHE III score was the only independent predictor of mortality(P=0.015, odd ratio=19.3, 95% confidence interval, 3.4 to 249.7) Conclusion: APACHE IU score may be a clinically significantly important independent predictor of outcome in the patients with hemoptysis. In addition, invasive procedure, such as bronchial artery embolizaticn or operation, could be considered in advance in the patients with more than 30 points of APACHE III.

The object of this study was to investigate the mortality rate and general character of intensive care unit patients and to evaluate the relationship between APACHE Ⅲ score and mortality in critically ill adult ICU patients. 105 ICU patients of K hospital who had been admitted from May 1, 1996 to July 31, 1996 were analyzed using the acute physiology and chronic health evaluation(APACHE) Ⅲ scoring system. This system uses a point score based upon initial values of 16 physiologic measurements, age and chronic health evaluation. The results were as follows. (1) There were 41 open heart surgery cases, 30 multiple trauma cases, 17 malignant tumor resection cases, 12 sepsis cases, 2 aortic disease cases and 3 others. (2) The overall mortality rate of 105 ICU patients was 9.5%. All patients with an APACHE Ⅲ score above 110 died and nobody died with a score below 60 points. (3) The average points of survivors was 44.86±15.65 and of nonsurvivors was 95.80±29.10. The difference between each group was significant statistically(p<0.001). (4) There was a close relationship between mortality rate and APACHE Ⅲ scores. With an increase in APACHE Ⅲ score, the increased hospital death rate was observed. APACHE Ⅲ scoring system is a useful method to predict the mortality rate in ICU adult patients and can be used for selection of patients and for ICU admission/discharge. It can also be used to compare the efficacy of intensive care in different hospitals.

Background: Postoperative mechanical ventilation in liver transplant patient has an important role for reducing respiratory complications and multi-organ failure in intensive care unit (ICU). Yet there are no specific indications for predicting the duration of postoperative mechanical ventilation. Thus, we evaluated the correlation between the duration of mechanical ventilation and scoring systems such as the Acute Physiology and Chronic health Evaluation (APACHE) II score, the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score, the Model for End-stage Liver Disease (MELD) score and the risk index. Methods: We retrospectively studied 183 patients who underwent living donor liver transplantation and we divided them into three groups based on the duration of mechanical ventilation: Group 1: <8 hr, Group 2: 8-12 hr and Group 3: >12 hr. We analyzed the correlation coefficients among the duration of mechanical ventilation, the risk index, and the SOFA, APACHE II and MELD scores. Results: The MELD and preoperative SOFA scores were significantly higher in group 3 (p=0.003, p=0.027). The MELD and SOFA scores were correlated with the duration of mechanical ventilation for all the patients (correlation coefficient=0.22, 0.20, p=0.003, 0.007, respectively). Yet the APACHE II score shows no correlation. Conclusions: We found that the MELD and SOFA scores were correlated with the duration of mechanical ventilation in liver transplant patients. Thus, these scoring systems may be useful to determine the duration of mechanical ventilation.

APACHE II Score, Rather Than Cardiac Function, May Predict Poor Prognosis in Patients With Stress-Induced Cardiomyopathy

While the disease course of stress-induced cardiomyopathy (SIC) is usually benign, it can be fatal. The prognostic factors to predict poorer outcome are not well established, however. We analyzed the Acute Physiology And Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score to assess its value for predicting poor prognosis in patients with SIC. Thirty-seven consecutive patients with SIC were followed prospectively during their hospitalization. Clinical factors,including APACHE II score, coronary angiogram, echocardiography and cardiac enzymes at presentation were analyzed. Of the 37 patients, 27 patients (73%) were women. The mean age was 66.1 ± 15.6 yr, and the most common presentation was chest pain (38%). Initial echocardiographic left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) was 42.5% ± 9.3%, and the wall motion score index (WMSI) was 1.9 ± 0.3. Six patients (16%) expired during the follow-up period of hospitalization. Based on the analysis of characteristics and clinical factors, the only predictable variable in prognosis was APACHE II score. The patients with APACHE II score greater than 20 had tendency to expire than the others (P = 0.001). Based on present study, APACHE II score more than 20, rather than cardiac function, is associated with mortality in patients with SIC.

외과중환자에서 APACHE-Ⅱ score의 임상적 의의

The objectives of this study were to refine the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE-Ⅱ) scoring system in order to more accurately predict hospital mortality risk and to identify the patients who need the ICU admission and the predictability of length of ICU stay for critically ill hospitalized patients. We retrospectively collected data on 36 surgical intensive care unit (ICU) admissions at Dept. of Surgery, Chungnam National University Hospital between March 1993 and June 1996. An increasing APACHE-Ⅱ score was associated with increased mortality rate (p<0.005). And daily APACHE-Ⅱ scores may be used for monitoring of the patient progression and the course of illness (p<0.005). But APACHE-Ⅱ can not predict ICU length of stay (p>0.005). We conclude that APACHE-Ⅱ may be utilized to clinical assessment in the evaluation of the severity of illness and mortality risk in critically ill patients and also APACHE-Ⅱ may prove a useful means of monitoring the course of the illness and response to therapy in any selected patients.
