Clinical inputs

Age in years

years

Allowed range: 0–120 years

APACHE II total

points

Allowed range: 0–71 points

Below 15 scores 0. From 15 up to but not including 20 scores 1. From 20 through 28 scores 2, and 28 itself scores 2. Above 28 scores 3.

SOFA total

points

Allowed range: 0–24 points

Number of comorbidities

count

Allowed range: 0–20 count

Zero or one scores 0. Two or more scores 1.

Days from hospital arrival to ICU

days

Allowed range: 0–60 days

Less than 1 day scores 0. One day or more scores 1.

Serum interleukin-6

pg/mL

Allowed range: 0–100000 pg/mL

400 pg/mL or higher scores 1 point. 399 pg/mL does not. This is the 2011 score that includes interleukin-6.

DOI: 10.1186/cc10546. PMID: 22085763. Age <50 = 0, 50 to <75 = 1, ≥75 = 2. APACHE II <15 = 0, 15 to <20 = 1, 20 through 28 = 2, >28 = 3. SOFA <6 = 0, 6 to <10 = 1, ≥10 = 2. Two or more comorbidities = 1. One or more days from hospital to ICU = 1. IL-6 ≥400 pg/mL = 1. The 2011 figure groups 0–5 against 6–10. This is the original score that includes IL-6, not the later score that omits it. (2011)
