APACHE II Scale
Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation
The APACHE II (Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II) scale is a scoring system used to assess the severity of illness in critically ill patients, especially those admitted to intensive care units (ICUs). It combines acute physiological data, age, and chronic health history to provide an estimate of the risk of hospital mortality. The scale is applied within the first 24 hours of the patient's admission.
