APACHE II scoring for predicting outcome in cerebral malaria
The APACHE II (Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation) severity-of-disease classification system was used to stratify the prognosis of 72 adult patients with cerebral malaria. Overall mortality was 13.89%. With the cut-off point at a score of 24, the APACHE II score stratified the patients&#...

Overall mortality was 13.89%. With the cut-off point at a score of 24, the APACHE II score stratified the patients' mortality outcome with 95.8% accuracy. High APACHE II score, deep unconsciousness, acute renal failure and acidaemia were identified as poor prognostic factors.
