Mortality Risk Prediction With an Updated Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II Score in Critically Ill Obstetric Patients: A Cohort Study

Conclusions: The APACHE II overestimates mortality in the sample population. The updated APACHE II model predicts mortality more accurately in the obstetric population. This formula may be useful in adapting the existing APACHE II to current mortality risk in obstetric critical care populations.
