ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the relationship between Injury Severity Score (ISS) and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE II) scores and mortality rate, and to evaluate the practical significance of APACHE II in ICU trauma patients.METHODS:
ISS and APACHE II scores and mortality rate of 50 ICU trauma patients were calculated by AIS-1985 revision and Knaus method, then, compared and analyzed.RESULTS:
The mortality rate was directly proportional to ISS and APACHE II scores in ICU trauma patients. APACHE II was more accurate and sensitive compared to ISS.CONCLUSIONS:
APACHE II is a better predictor for ICU trauma patients. ISS>=25 or APACHE II>=20 may be used as the admitting criteria for ICU trauma patients.
