A STUDY OF APACHE INDEX AND ITS RELATIOSHIP WITH OXIDATIVE STRESS IN CARDIAC PATIENTS

Dr Giles George

Abstract


This preliminary study aims (1) at validating the use of Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) scoring system in cardiac patients admitted to the intensive cardiac care unit (ICCU) for  prediction of  the risk for mortality, (2) to evaluate the use of a modified APACHE II (mAPACHE II)  with addition of the scores related to urinary levels of oxidative stress parameters in prediction of the risk for mortality

Keywords


APACHE II, ICCU, mAPACHE II, Mortality, Oxidative stress.
