dc.description.abstractSeverity scoring system have been widely used for assessment of patients admitted to intensive care unit whether to see the physiological derangement or the effectiveness of the treatment and prediction of mortality rate. APACHE II is the most commonly used severity scoring system because it is user friendly and easily available. For the past 12 months between January 2000 to December 2000, a total of 180 patients were admitted to the intensive care unit, Hospital University Sains Malaysia. Admission was based upon the criteria that have been tailored towards the study. Admission was either from general medical/surgical wards, accident and emergency unit or postoperatively. Post emergency operation patients contribute the most admission, 52.8%. Majority of patients were less than 44 years old, 55.0% and 91.1% were Malays. Since Hospital University Sains Malaysia is a referral center for Neurosurgical cases in the East Coast, 43.3% of patients were neurosurgical patients. The minimum APACHE ll score was 0 and the maximum was 39, with most patients with APACHE II scores range in between 6-10 (25.6%). All patients with APACHE IT score more than 25 had 100% mortality rate . There was statistically significant different between the observed mortality and predicted mortality with p < 0. 0001. The power of correct prediction of mortality was 70.9%.en_US
