Implementation in Data Set Specifications: | Intensive care DSS Health!, Recorded 14/07/2006 DSS specific information: Used in the calculation of APACHE II, APACHE III and SAPS II scores. For the APACHE scoring systems, this data element is used with the mode of entry to ICU to determine the number of chronic health points assigned where chronic co morbidities exist at hospital admission. For the APACHE II score, the point score weighting allocated for a elective episode of intensive care with chronic health co morbidities is reduced from 5 to 2 if the mode of entry to Intensive care is OT/recovery. For the APACHE III score, the point score weighting allocated for a elective episode of intensive care with chronic health co morbidities is nulled if the mode of entry to intensive care is OT/recovery. Under the APACHE II and APACHE III scoring systems, all other patients with co morbidities at hospital admission are allocated 5 points. For the SAPS II score, a point score weighting of 6 is given for all modes of entry to intensive care except for OT/recovery. For non elective episode of Intensive care from OT/recovery, a point score of 8 is allocated. For elective episode of Intensive care from OT/recovery, 0 points are allocated.
