Norton et al used the APACHE III to triage patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The authors are from Christiana Care Health System in Newark, Delaware.
Patient: acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI)
Parameter:
(1) APACHE III
score =
= (0.093 * (APACHE III)) - 4.457
probability that ICU admission is appropriate =
= 1 / (1 + EXP((-1) * (score))
An APACHE III score > 38 was usually ICU appropriate.
Performance:
• The area under the ROC curve is 0.84.
