Background: Mortality predictive indexes have not been applied to patients in general wards out of the ICU.
Methods: Retrolective study aimed to evaluate the value of mortality prediction indexes in a cohort of 944 non-critical patients. Three indexes were evaluated according to their calibration and discriminative power: the Mortality Probability Model II (MPMII), the Simplified Acute Physiology System II (SAPS II) and the Logistic Organ Dysfunction System (LODS).
