Performance Assessment of the SOFA, APACHE II Scoring System, and SAPS II in Intensive Care Unit Organophosphate Poisoned Patients

Abstract: This study assessed the ability of the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) and Acute Physiology, Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II scoring systems, as well as the Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS) II method to predict group mortality in intensive care unit (ICU) patients who were poisoned with organophosphate. The medical records of 149 organophosphate poisoned patients admitted to the ICU from September 2006 to December 2012 were retrospectively examined. The SOFA, APACHE II, and SAPS II wer… Show more

“…30 An explanation for the observed difference may stem from the more complex nature of septic shock as compared with poisoning both in onset and evolution. Moreover, the simplicity of the SOFA score, in particular the absence of parameters related to associated diseases makes it more relevant to organ dysfunctions, unlike SAPS II and APACHE II that evaluate multiple organ dysfunction specific to the critically septic patient.…”

“…Some studies reported APACHE II as better than SAPS score in the prediction of mortality and morbidity associated with poisoning [30] while others [31] have found that the SOFA score was more useful and simpler to use than the APACHE II and SAPS II scores.…”

“…The World Health Organization has estimated that more than 300 million case of acute pesticide poisoning occur worldwide each year, and that most of these cases are due to OP intoxication. These OP compounds are likely to have more toxicity in developing countries due to its easy availability and less awareness which results in high morbidity and mortality (Kumar et al, 2010;Kim et al, 2013).…”
