Can we predict prognosis using mortality probability model IIo?

Objective: To evaluate Mortality Probability Model (MPM) IIo as a tool to predict very poor prognosis after intensive care unit admission.

Methods: The study was conducted as a prospective observational study in a medical-surgical intensive care unit in a tertiary care teaching hospital, Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Data necessary to calculate MPM IIo predicted mortality was collected from March 1999 through to February 2000 on all intensive care unit admissions.
