Article Synopsis
  • The study evaluated the Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS 3) and its ability to predict mortality in critically ill COVID-19 patients in Brazil.
  • During the first wave of the pandemic, patients exhibited more severe conditions and comorbidities, with SAPS 3 proving more effective in mortality prediction compared to the second wave.
  • Findings indicated that older age and higher SAPS 3 scores were consistently associated with increased mortality, highlighting the score's importance in assessing patient prognosis in different pandemic waves.
