Quickly calculate the SAPS II Score (Simplified Acute Physiology II) to assess severity of illness and predict mortality risk in ICU patients. Our free online SAPS II calculator uses key physiological parameters, allowing healthcare professionals to make informed decisions for critical care management. Understand the criteria and implications of a high or low SAPS II score.
Formula:
The SAPS II score is derived by summing points assigned to various physiological parameters, patient age, type of admission, and presence of pre-existing chronic diseases. Each parameter (e.g., Systolic BP, Heart Rate, GCS) is assigned a score based on its value falling within specific ranges, reflecting the deviation from normal physiological function. The total sum represents the patient's severity of illness.
SAPS II Score = Σ (Points for Age + Chronic Diseases + Type of Admission + Physiological Parameters)
