JAMAA new Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS II) based on a European/North American multicenter study
6,363 Citations1993J. R. Le Gall
The SAPS II, based on a large international sample of patients, provides an estimate of the risk of death without having to specify a primary diagnosis, and is a starting point for future evaluation of the efficiency of intensive care units.

Critical Care MedicineGender-related differences in intensive care: A multiple-center cohort study of therapeutic interventions and outcome in critically ill patients*
204 Citations2003Andreas Valentin, Barbara Jordan +3 more
In a large cohort of critically ill patients, no differences in severity of illness-adjusted mortality rate between men and women were found and men received an increased level of care and underwent more invasive procedures.
Critical Care MedicineRating the quality of intensive care units: Is it a function of the intensive care unit scoring system?*
121 Citations2002Laurent G. Glance, Turner Osler +1 more
The finding that most ICUs in this database were judged to be high-performing units limits the usefulness of these models in their present form for benchmarking.
Archives of Internal MedicineResource Utilization Among Intensive Care Patients
105 Citations1992John Rapoport
Even in a setting where there would appear to be relatively little room for discretion in treatment decisions, incentives associated with type of health insurance seemed to affect resource use.
Critical Care MedicineAfrican-American and white patients admitted to the intensive care unit
94 Citations1995John F. Williams, Jack E. Zimmerman +3 more
After adjusting for variations in patient characteristics at ICU admission, race has no significant effect on hospital survival and the small but statistically significant differences in adjusted ICU length of stay and resource use could indicate undertreatment for African-Americans or overtreatment for whites.
PubMedUnderstanding racial variation in the use of carotid endarterectomy: the role of aversion to surgery.
79 Citations1998E.Z. Oddone, Ronnie D. Horner +9 more
Black and white patients from both racial groups were similar in age, marital status, level of education, and comorbid medical illnesses, and functional status for both groups was high and not statistically different.
Milbank QuarterlyTheories Explaining Racial Differences in the Utilization of Diagnostic and Therapeutic Procedures for Cerebrovascular Disease
78 Citations1995Ronnie D. Horner, Eugene Ž. Oddone +1 more
Although ability to pay does not explain the observed variation in use of carotid endarterectomy, it may influence the evaluation process prior to hospitalization, and a racial difference in patients' decisions about health care for cerebrovascular disease has never been investigated.
Critical Care MedicineDifferences in pediatric ICU mortality risk over time
66 Citations1998J. Mick Tilford, Paula K. Roberson +2 more
Recent improvements in pediatric ICU quality of care have negated its usefulness for many intended applications, including quality-of-care assessment, according to this study.
Critical Care MedicineIdentifying quality outliers in a large, multiple-institution database by using customized versions of the Simplified Acute Physiology Score II and the Mortality Probability Model II0*
58 Citations2002Laurent G. Glance, Turner Osler +1 more
Whether customized versions of the Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS) II and the Mortality Probability Model (MPM) II0 agree on the identity of intensive care unit quality outliers within a multiple-center database is assessed.
