| Abstract: | The key fixed task was the following: detection, as soon as possible, of patients with a high risk of lethal outcome; an objective assessment of the condition of patients during the early postoperative period by using a quantitative evaluation (SAPS II, APACHE II); and defining of the prognostic value of SAPS II and APACHE II after oncology surgeries. The in-hospital lethality amounted to 53% in 73 patients with MOFS during the early postoperative period after oncology surgeries. The formalized (numerical) score, according to SAPS II and APACHE II, made it possible to detect patients with a higher risk of lethal outcome yet during the very first day after oncology surgeries. If the score of SAPS II or APACHE II topped 30 (on the first day after surgery), then the in-hospital lethality exceeded 50%. The information density of the SAPS II and APACHE II systems turned out to be identical, however, SAPS II appears to be more convenient in terms of practical usage since it demands the evolution of a smaller number of physiological parameters. |
