摘要: The most recent edition of the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation provides a prediction intensive care unit length stay in addition to probability hospital mortality. Intensive is an important determinant costs may be indicator quality care. Data were collected from 22 Scottish units over 2-year period allow comparison actual with that predicted by III system. Correlation between for individual patients was poor. However, performance model patients, grouped either or unit, indicated stratified patient groups appropriately while demonstrating consistent bias. Length found consistently lower than which based on practice USA. Variations severity illness populations cannot readily explain differences stay. availability capable predicting stay, data reflecting UK, would compliment current methods assessing effectiveness
