ICU scoring system | Timing of data collected | Physiological values | Other required data | Total data elements required | Original reported mortality prediction performance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
SAPS III | Prior to and within 1 hour of ICU admission | 10 | Age, six chronic health variables, ICU admission diagnosis, ICU admission source, LOS prior to ICU admission, emergency surgery, infection on admission, four variables for surgery type | 26 | AUC  =  84.8% (n  =  16,784) |
