Adult Icu Scoring Systems
Azza Sayed Kamel;
Abstract
Summary
isk predictors and scoring systems are commonly used in medicine to provide a reliable and objective estimation of disease prognosis. Furthermore, they were designed to classify severity of illness and to perform risk stratification for scientific studies in a standardized way. Different scoring systems and classifications are available to stratify risks and adverse events to assess ICU performance and determine pain intensity and sedation depth. There many scores have been developed with respect to organ systems e.g. (cardiovascular system, neurological system, liver and hematological diseases). Furthermore, there are scoring-systems for special events, such as difficult laryngoscopy and PONV. Predictive scoring systems have been developed to measure the severity of disease and the prognosis of patients in the ICU. Such measurements are helpful for clinical decision making, standardizing research, and comparing the quality of patient care across ICUs.
Scoring systems in ICU differ between adult and children. Scoring systems used in critically ill adult patients can broadly be divided into scores that assess disease severity on admission and use it to predict outcome (for example,

APACHE, SAPS, and MPM), scores that assess the presence and severity of organ dysfunction (as MODS, LODS, SOFA score), and scores that assess nursing workload use for example, TISS. Accurate pain assessment is the first step
