N2  - The APACHE II score is a well-known measure of illness severity and widely used for prognosis in the ICU. A total of 91 trauma patients were identified among 939 ICU admissions (18 months), and their actual mortality (11/91; 12.1%) clearly exceeds the prognosis due to APACHE II (7.1%). Trauma-specific scores (TRISS, ISS, and RTS) revealed much higher estimates: 13%-22% which confirms a systematic underestimation of risk of death score in trauma patients in the APACHE system.<p /> <p>Language: de</p>
