“…This supports previous findings of the predictability of physiologic scores in other critically ill populations 25,43,44 and in patients with AIDS-related PCP and ARF. 23,[32][33][34]38 Our findings also refute the conclusions of Kumar and Krieger, 29 who found CD4 + count to be predictive of in-hospital mortality in ventilated patients. Median albumin level on admission to the ICU was significantly different between patients who survived and those who did not (Table 2), but the difference is not clinically relevant.…”

“…However, these systems have not always proven valid in specific patient populations such as those with septicemia (7), HIV positive serum (8, 9), Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (10), cardiac diseases (11) or neoplastic diseases (12, 13). Patients who are admitted to the neurosurgical ICU (NICU) are likely in many instances to have higher mortality despite multimodal intensive management, regardless of their neurosurgical diagnosis.…”

“…These systems have been constructed in general ICU populations, with mathematical models integrating the most relevant co-variates associated with mortality. However, these systems have not always proven their validity in specific populations, such as septicemic patients, HIV-positive patients admitted to medical ICU or presenting with Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia and cardiac patients [6,8,19,20,22] or patients with neoplastic diseases [4,13]. In a previous study [21], we compared APACHE II and SAPS II in critically ill cancer patients admitted to a specific oncological medical ICU.…”
