Abstract
En 中文
Intensive care unit(ICU) predictive scoring systems (PSS) are valuable in predicting outcomes in the ICU. However, they have not been validated in many populations, including West Africans, limiting their utility in these populations. The study population comprises Ghanaians managed in the ICUs of two major tertiary/quaternary hospitals in Ghana from 2017 to 2026. The Acute Physiologic and Chronic Health Evaluation-IV(APACHE-IV), Simplified Acute Physiologic ScoreIII (SAPS-III), Mortality Prediction Model-III(MPM0-III), Sequential (Sepsis-related) Organ Failure Assessment(SOFA)/quick SOFA(qSOFA), and National Early Warning Score-2(NEWS-2) scores will be calculated. For APACHE-IV, SAPS-III, and MPM0-III, the primary outcome measures are mortality and/or length of stay(LOS). The APACHE IV, SAPS-III, and MPM0-III scores and their corresponding predicted mortality ratios will be calculated. The overall observed and predicted and change in score with mortality will be assessed. Conventional statistical tools and supervised
