Feasibility and accuracy of a nonmedical research person in assimilation and calculation of acute physiologic assessment and chronic health evaluation scores in an Indian intensive care unit

Conclusions: A well-trained and supervised nonmedical research person can assimilate and calculate APACHE II scores with good agreement with an ICU trainee. This may help in deriving data from medically understaffed ICUs in India, thus promoting much-needed research from such ICUs.
