Description

Davis et al used the admission base deficit and Injury Severity Score (ISS) to predict the probability of developing multi-organ failure for a trauma patient. This can help identify a patient who may require more aggressive management and monitoring. The authors are from the Fresno Campus of the University of California San Francisco.


 

If base excess is reported, then a base deficit is a negative number.

If base deficit is reported, then a base deficit is a positive number.

Base Excess

Interpretation

>= 3 mmol/L

base excess

-2 to 2

normal

-3 to -5

The curves in Figure 4 (page 772) plotting base status vs ISS showed the following values:

When this data is analyzed in JMP the following equations can be used to match the curves:

 

Curve

ISS 0 to 35

ISS 35 to 75

Excess

(0.0001881 * ((ISS)^2)) + (0.0024881 * (ISS)) + 0.0604167

(-0.000138 * ((ISS)^2)) + (0.0282762 * (ISS)) - 0.449152

Normal

(-0.000178 * ((ISS)^2)) + (0.030619 * (ISS)) - 0.362576

Mild Deficit

(-0.000172 * ((ISS)^2)) + (0.0274048 * (ISS)) - 0.133182

Moderate Deficit

(-0.000145 * ((ISS)^2)) + (0.0220381 * (ISS)) + 0.1282727

Severe deficit

(-0.000052 * ((ISS)^2)) + (0.0166429 * (ISS)) + 0.296667

(-0.0001309 * ((ISS)^2)) + (0.0162386 * (ISS)) + 0.3757
