Aoki et al developed a simple model for predicting survival in patients undergoing damage control laparotomy. The authors are from Baylor College of Medicine, Kyoto University, Ben-Taub General Hospital, and the University of Ljubljana.
Patient selection: ICU admission following damage control laparotomy
Parameters:
(1) pH at ICU admission
(2) worst (maximum) aPTT between hospital arrival and ICU admission
