Discriminatory Performance of APACHE II Score and the Prediction of Mortality within the ICU in Patients with Sepsis Admitted to the ICU.
Article in Materia socio-medica, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Severity of illness assessment tools are utilized to triage critically-ill patients and provide a valuable inputs to the healthcare provider to decide the type and intensity of treatment or interventions. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the discriminatory capabilities of Acute Physiology And Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) score in the prediction of Intensive care units (ICUs) mortality among patients with sepsis admitted to the ICU. Methods: Records of patients with sepsis admitted to ICUs were retrospectively reviewed. Discriminatory performance of APACHE II score was assessed by using the receiver operating characteristic's (ROC's) area under the curve (AUC). Results: The mean±SD of APACHE II score was 27.1±8.4. APACHE II score demonstrated a very good discriminatory performance with an accuracy rate of 75% and an AUC-ROC 0.80 (95%CI: 0.74 - 0.85) at an optimal cutoff of 26. APACHE II score was found to be correlated with ICU mortality with a correlation coefficient of (0.52). ICU mortality was significantly higher in patients with APACHE II score ≥26. Conclusion: This study revealed that the discriminatory performance of APACHE II score in predicting ICU mortality in patient with sepsis was very good. These findings can have potential clinical implications in the identification and management of patients with sepsis admitted to the ICU.
