[APACHE II, APACHE III, SOFA scoring systems, platelet counts and mortality in septic and nonseptic patients].
The aim of the current prospective study was to examine the prognostic value of APACHE II, APACHE III (Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evakuation II and III) and SOFA (Sepsis-related Organ Failure Assessment) scores and platelet counts in septic and nonseptic patients hospitalized and treated in ICU units. ⋯ According to our results obtained in septic and non-septic patients, we concluded that SOFA, APACHE II and III scores and platelet counts might be used in the prediction of mortality in septic patients.
