Genesis of Antibiotic Resistance (AR) XXXIX: Universal Implementation of Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS‐II) score inclusive of AR as an effective prognostic indicator of mortality in Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) induced Coma
Abstract:Based on an appraisal of the criteria required for deriving the SAPS‐II scores reinforced by statistical significance, a rationale is presented to include factors determining AR, thus enable the clinical decision making to withdraw life support in TBI subsequent to coma (Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) ranging from a Severe: GCS 3–8; Moderate: GCS 9–12; Mild: GCS 13–15). The SAPS‐II is a severity score and mortality estimation tool developed from a large sample of medical and surgical patients in North America and Eu… Show more
