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.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this new scoring system could lead to improved patient outcomes by enabling more accurate prognostic assessments and timely interventions.
How similar studies have gone: While existing studies have focused on inflammation and nutrition separately, this approach of integrating both into a prognostic scoring system is novel and has not been extensively tested.
