Notes

• For the SAPS 2 score to be correct, a value must be selected for every variable.

 
Equations used
 

SAPS II Score = AgeFactor + TemperatureFactor + Systolic Blood PressureFactor + Heart RateFactor + (On ventilator or BiPAP within 24 hours * PaO2/FIO2Factor ) + Urine OutputFactor + BicarbonateFactor + BilirubinFactor + SodiumFactor + PotassiumFactor + BUNFactor + Glasgow Coma ScoreFactor + WBCFactor + Chronic Diseases + Admission Type

Logit = (0.0737 * SAPS II Score)+ (0.9971 * ln(SAPS II Score + 1)) -7.7631

Hospital Mortality Probability = 100 * e(Logit) / (1 + e(Logit))

 

 

Calculation Details and Variables

• AgeFactor is assigned values by this ordered logic:
  • If Age <40 yr, AgeFactor = 0
  • Else if Age <60 yr, AgeFactor = 7
  • Else if Age <70 yr, AgeFactor = 12
  • Else if Age <75 yr, AgeFactor = 15
  • Else if Age <80 yr, AgeFactor = 16
  • Else AgeFactor = 18.
• HeartRateFactor is assigned values by this ordered logic:
  • If Heart Rate ≥160 beats/min, HeartRateFactor = 7
  • Else if Heart Rate ≥120 beats/min, HeartRateFactor = 4
  • Else if Heart Rate ≥70 beats/min, HeartRateFactor = 0
  • Else if Heart Rate ≥40 beats/min, HeartRateFactor = 2
  • Else HeartRateFactor = 11.
• SystolicBloodPressureFactor is assigned values by this ordered logic:
  • If Systolic Blood Pressure ≥200 mmHg, SystolicBloodPressureFactor = 2
  • Else if Systolic Blood Pressure ≥100 mmHg, SystolicBloodPressureFactor = 0
  • Else if Systolic Blood Pressure ≥70 mmHg, SystolicBloodPressureFactor = 5
  • Else SystolicBloodPressureFactor = 13.
• TemperatureFactor is assigned values by this ordered logic:
  • If Temperature ≥39 degC, TemperatureFactor = 3
  • Else TemperatureFactor = 0.
• Equation parameters such as On ventilator or BiPAP within 24 hours, have two or more discrete values that may be used in the calculation. The numbers in the parentheses, e.g. (0), represent the values that will be used.
• pafiFactor is assigned values by this ordered logic:
  • If PaO₂/FIO₂ ≥200 mmHg/FIO2, pafiFactor = 6
  • Else if PaO₂/FIO₂ ≥100 mmHg/FIO2, pafiFactor = 9
  • Else pafiFactor = 11.
• UOFactor is assigned values by this ordered logic:
  • If Urine Output ≥1000 mL/day, UOFactor = 0
  • Else if Urine Output ≥500 mL/day, UOFactor = 4
  • Else UOFactor = 11.
• BUNFactor is assigned values by this ordered logic:
  • If BUN ≥84 mg/dL, BUNFactor = 10
  • Else if BUN ≥28 mg/dL, BUNFactor = 6
  • Else BUNFactor = 0.
• WBCFactor is assigned values by this ordered logic:
  • If WBC ≥20 x10(3)/mcL, WBCFactor = 3
  • Else if WBC ≥1 x10(3)/mcL, WBCFactor = 0
  • Else WBCFactor = 12.
• PotassiumFactor is assigned values by this ordered logic:
  • If Potassium ≥5 mmol/L, PotassiumFactor = 3
  • Else if Potassium ≥3 mmol/L, PotassiumFactor = 0
  • Else PotassiumFactor = 3.
• SodiumFactor is assigned values by this ordered logic:
  • If Sodium ≥145 mmol/L, SodiumFactor = 1
  • Else if Sodium ≥125 mmol/L, SodiumFactor = 0
  • Else SodiumFactor = 5.
• BicarbonateFactor is assigned values by this ordered logic:
  • If Bicarbonate ≥20 mEq/L, BicarbonateFactor = 0
  • Else if Bicarbonate ≥15 mEq/L, BicarbonateFactor = 3
  • Else BicarbonateFactor = 6.
• BilirubinFactor is assigned values by this ordered logic:
  • If Bilirubin ≥6 mg/dL, BilirubinFactor = 9
  • Else if Bilirubin ≥4 mg/dL, BilirubinFactor = 4
  • Else BilirubinFactor = 0.
• GCSFactor is assigned values by this ordered logic:
  • If Glasgow Coma Score ≥14 points, GCSFactor = 0
  • Else if Glasgow Coma Score ≥11 points, GCSFactor = 5
  • Else if Glasgow Coma Score ≥9 points, GCSFactor = 7
  • Else if Glasgow Coma Score ≥6 points, GCSFactor = 13
  • Else GCSFactor = 26.
