TL;DR
SAPS II was not well calibrated when applied to all patients, however, it performed well for patients with cardiovascular diseases as the primary reason for admission and may thus be applied to these patients.
Abstract
SAPS II was not well calibrated when applied to all patients. However, it performed well for patients with cardiovascular diseases as the primary reason for admission and may thus be applied to these patients. Standardized mortality ratios that are calculated from scoring systems without known calibration must be viewed with skepticism.

A representation and interpretation of the area under a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve obtained by the "rating" method, or by mathematical predictions based on patient characteristics, is presented and it is shown that in such a setting the area represents the probability that a randomly chosen diseased subject is (correctly) rated or ranked with greater suspicion than a random chosen non-diseased subject.

Several statistics have recently been proposed for the purpose of assessing the goodness of fit of an estimated logistic regression model and one statistic is recommended for use and its computation is illustrated using data from a recent study of mortality of intensive care unit patients.

The American APACHE II equation did not fit the British and Irish data, and use of the American equation could be of advantage or disadvantage to individual intensive care units, depending on the mix of patients treated.

Very large differences were apparent in relevant subgroups, varying from excellent to almost random predictive accuracy, which can explain some of the difficulties of the models to accurately predict mortality when applied to different populations with distinct patient baseline characteristics.

In this ICU patient database, second-level customization was more effective than first- level customization in improving the overall goodness-of-fit of MPM II0 and should probably be chosen as the preferential strategy to improve the fit of a model when the sample size is large enough.

It is concluded that SAPS II is applicable to CCU patients in the authors' unit, and the probability of death in survivors and nonsurvivors was equally distributed in ICU and CCu patients.

Prognostic indexes developed for multidisciplinary patients show good performance when applied to patients with acute myocardial infarction, but customization can reduce the number of variables necessary to compute them without a loss of, and a possible improvement in, prognostic accuracy.
