    Author: Teoh GS, Mah KK, abd Majid S, Streram, Yee MK.
    Journal: Med J Malaysia; 1991 Mar; 46(1):72-81. PubMed ID: 1836042.
    Abstract:
    A good overall assessment of the severity of illnesses of patients admitted to a general intensive care unit (ICU) is not without problems. The APACHE (acute physiology and chronic health evaluation) prognostic scoring system enables us to stratify acutely ill patients and compare efficiency of ICU therapy in different hospitals. This preliminary study carried out on 100 consecutive admissions to the ICU in University Hospital, Kuala Lumpur showed the spectrum of ICU admissions and the direct relationship between APACHE II score and mortality.
