Evaluation of Field SAPS

چکیده
System Performance Variation in SAPS performance is one of the primary concerns that inspired this research. Figures 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3 show the performance of the PMAC system as it relates to pH adjustment, total iron removal, and alkalinity generation respectively. The PMAC system demonstrated a consistent ability to treat severely contaminated AMD when maintained properly. It has raised the pH approximately two units and discharged net-alkaline water consistently and year-round. Iron was removed to less than 10 mg/l on all but 5 occasions for the two years the system was under observation.

Comparison of the performance of SAPS II, SAPS 3, APACHE II, and their customized prognostic models in a surgical intensive care unit.
BACKGROUND The Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS) 3 has recently been developed, but not yet validated in surgical intensive care unit (ICU) patients. We compared the performance of SAPS 3 with SAPS II and the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score in surgical ICU patients. METHODS Prospectively collected data from all patients admitted to a German university h...
متن کاملScaling and Probabilistic Smoothing (SAPS)
The SAPS algorithm is a Dynamic Local Search (DLS) algorithm conceptually closely related to the Exponentiated Sub-Gradient (ESG) algorithm developed by Schuurmans, Southey and Holte [3]. When introducing SAPS, our major contributions were a reduction in the algorithmic complexity as compared to the ESG algorithm and a new perspective on how the two algorithms were behaving. The SAPS algorithm ...

BACKGROUND Several prognostic systems have been developed and validated in general Intensive Care Units (ICUs). No assessment of these scores was performed in specialized Gastroenterology Intensive Care Units (GICUs). AIM To assess the prognostic accuracy of Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II, Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS) II and Sequential Organ Failure Ass...
متن کاملPerformance of SAPS II and SAPS 3 in Intermediate Care
OBJECTIVE The efficacy and reliability of prognostic scores has been described extensively for intensive care, but their role for predicting mortality in intermediate care patients is uncertain. To provide more information in this field, we have analyzed the performance of the Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS) II and SAPS 3 in a single center intermediate care unit (ImCU). MATERIALS AN...
متن کاملValidation of the Sepsis Severity Score Compared with Updated Severity Scores in Predicting Hospital Mortality in Sepsis Patients.
INTRODUCTION Recently, the Sepsis Severity Score (SSS) was constructed to predict mortality in sepsis patients. The aim of this study was to compare performance of the SSS with the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II-IV, Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS) II, and SAPS 3 scores in predicting hospital outcome in sepsis patients. METHODS A retroprospective analysis w...
