Introduction: The purpose of this study is to assess the performance of Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II, Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS) II, Mortality Probability Model MPM II0 and MPM II24 systems in a major tertiary care hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Methods: The following data were collected prospectively on all consecutive patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit between 1 March 1999 and 31 December 2000: demographics, APACHE II and SAPS II scores, MPM variables, ICU and hospital outcome. Predicted mortality was calculated using original regression formulas. Standardized mortality ratio (SMR) was computed with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Calibration was assessed by calculating Lemeshow-Hosmer goodness-of-fit C statistics. Discrimination was evaluated by calculating the Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curves (ROC AUC).
Results: Predicted mortality by all systems was not significantly different from actual mortality [SMR for MPM II0: 1.00 (0.91-1.10), APACHE II: 1.00 (0.8-1.11), SAPS II: 1.09 (0.97-1.21), MPM II24 0.92 (0.82-1.03)]. Calibration was best for MPM II24 (C-statistic: 14.71, P = 0.06). Discrimination was best for MPM II0 (ROC AUC:0.85) followed by MPM II24 (0.84), APACHE II (0.83) then SAPS II (0.79).
Conclusions: In our ICU population: 1) Overall mortality prediction, estimated by standardized mortality ratio, was accurate, especially for MPM II0 and APACHE II. 2) MPM II24 has the best calibration. 3) SAPS II has the lowest calibration and discrimination. The local performance of MPM II24 in addition to its ease-to-use makes it an attractive model for mortality prediction in Saudi Arabia.

Purpose: Mortality Probability Model (MPM) II is a model for predicting mortality probability of patients admitted to ICU. This study was done to test the validity of MPM II for critically ill neurological patients and to determine applicability of MPM II in predicting mortality of neurological ICU patients.
Methods: Data were collected from medical records of 187 neurological patients over 18 yr of age who were admitted to the ICU of C University Hospital during the period from January 2008 to May 2009.

Background: Development of three classification trees (CT) based on the CART (Classification and Regression Trees), CHAID (Chi-Square Automatic Interaction Detection) and C4.5 methodologies for the calculation of probability of hospital mortality; the comparison of the results with the APACHE II, SAPS II and MPM II-24 scores, and with a model based on multiple logistic regression (LR).
Methods: Retrospective study of 2864 patients.

Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the effectiveness of various mortality prediction systems for patients with severe sepsis and septic shock in the ICU, focusing on models like APACHE II, SAPS II, and MPM II.
- It was conducted in a tertiary care ICU setting, collecting data on patients admitted between March 1999 and August 2001, and analyzed the accuracy of these systems in predicting actual mortality rates.
- Findings indicated that while overall mortality predictions were adequate, the calibration of most models was poor, with customized versions showing improved accuracy, particularly the customized SAPS II and MPM II24.

Background And Purpose: This study compared the goodness-of-fit of six prognostic prediction systems.
Methods: A total of 1,170 patients in the medical and surgical intensive care units of a public tertiary care hospital were included in this study. Data from the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II, APACHE III, Simplified Acute Physiology Score II (SAPS II), Condition Index Score (CIS), and Mortality Probability Models II (MPM II; at admission MPM IIadm and 24-hours later MPM II24 h) prediction systems were collected.
