Cohort study of the APACHE II score and mortality for different types of intensive care unit patients.

Objectives: Find the discriminant and calibration of APACHE II (Acute Physiology And Chronic Health Evaluation) score to predict mortality for different type of intensive care unit (ICU) patients.

Methods: This is a cohort retrospective study using secondary data of ICU patients admitted to Siloam Hospital of Lippo Village from 2014 to 2018 with minimum age ≥17 years. The analysis uses the receiver operating characteristic curve, student t-test and logistic regression to find significant variables needed to predict mortality.

Health system capacity for post-abortion care in Java, Indonesia: a signal functions analysis.

Background: The quality of obstetric care has been identified as a contributing factor in Indonesia's persistently high level of maternal mortality, and the country's restrictive abortion laws merit special attention to the quality of post-abortion care (PAC). Due to unique health policies and guidelines, in Indonesia, uterine evacuation for PAC is typically administered only by Ob/Gyns practicing in hospitals.

Methods: Using data from a survey of 657 hospitals and emergency obstetric-registered public health centers in Java, Indonesia's most populous island, we applied a signal functions analysis to measure the health system's capacity to offer PAC.
