Sequential organ failure assessment in predicting mortality after paraquat poisoning: A meta-analysis

Sequential Organ Failure Assessment Score Can Predict Mortality in Patients with Paraquat Intoxication

INTRODUCTION Paraquat poisoning is characterized by multi-organ failure and pulmonary fibrosis with respiratory failure, resulting in high mortality and morbidity. The objective of this study was to identify predictors of mortality in cases of paraquat poisoning. Furthermore, we sought to determine the association between these parameters. METHODS A total of 187 patients were referred for man...

The value of APACHE II in predicting mortality after paraquat poisoning in Chinese and Korean population

BACKGROUND The Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) score is used to determine disease severity and predict outcomes in critically ill patients. However, the prognostic significance of APACHE after acute paraquat (PQ) poisoning remains unclear. The meta-analysis was aimed to study the value of APACHE II in predicting mortality in PQ-exposed Chinese and Korean patients. ...

Sequential organ failure assessment score predicts mortality after coronary artery bypass grafting

BACKGROUND Mortality after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is generally associated with underlying disease and surgical factors overlooked in preoperative prognostic models. Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE II) scores are widely used in intensive care units for outcome prediction. This study investigated the accuracy of...
