New scoring system for ICU patients considering inflammation and nutrition

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to develop a new prognostic scoring system, APACHE-INf, for patients admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) by incorporating inflammatory parameters and nutritional status into the assessment. Current scoring systems, like APACHE-II, primarily focus on organ dysfunction and overlook these critical factors that significantly impact patient outcomes. By evaluating the role of inflammation and nutritional deficiencies, the study seeks to enhance the accuracy of prognosis predictions for ICU patients. The research will involve collecting data from patients over 18 years old admitted to the ICU at Bursa City Hospital and its affiliated institutions.
