SAPS-3 performance for hospital mortality prediction in 30,571 patients with COVID-19 admitted to ICUs in Brazil.
2021
Severity of illness scores are used for benchmarking and
assessment of adjusted mortality in intensive care units
(ICU). Te Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) and the Simplifed Acute Physiology
Score (SAPS) 3 scores were recently evaluated in ICU
patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) with
conficting fndings. While in the cohorts from
United Kingdom and United States ICU scores
underestimated the actual mortality and poorly stratifed
disease severity, analyses from Austria using the SAPS-3
with frst-level customization suggested satisfactory performance. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the performance of SAPS-3 to predict hospital mortality in a
large cohort of COVID-19 patients admitted to ICUs in
Brazil.
