| Abstract | PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to assess the ability of the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA), Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II scoring system, and Trauma and Injury Severity Score (TRISS) method to predict group mortality for intensive care unit (ICU) trauma patients. METHODS: The medical records of 706 consecutive major trauma patients admitted to the ICU of Samsung Changwon Hospital from May 2006 to April 2010 were retrospectively examined. The SOFA and the APACHE II scores were calculated based on data from the first 24 hours of ICU admission, and the TRISS was calculated using initial laboratory data from the emergency department and operative data. The probability of death was calculated for each patient based on the SOFA score, APACHE II score, and TRISS equations. The ability to predict group mortality for the SOFA score, APACHE II score, and TRISS method was assessed by using 2-by-2 decision matrices and receiver operating characteristic curve analysis and calibration analysis. RESULTS: In 2-by-2 decision matrices with a decision criterion of 0.5, the sensitivities, specificities, and accuracies were 74.1%, 97.1%, and 92.4%, respectively, for the SOFA score; 58.5%, 99.6%, and 91.1%, respectively, for the APACHE II scoring system; and 52.4%, 94.8%, and 86.0%, respectively, for the TRISS method. In the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, the areas under the curve for the SOFA score, APACHE II scoring system, and TRISS method were 0.953, 0.950, and 0.922, respectively. CONCLUSION: The results from the present study showed that the SOFA score was not different from APACHE II scoring system and TRISS in predicting the outcomes for ICU trauma patients. However, the method for calculating SOFA scores is easier and simpler than APACHE II and TRISS. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
