Critical Care MedicineAPACHE II
13,694 Citations1985William A. Knaus, Elizabeth A. Draper +2 more
The form and validation results of APACHE II, a severity of disease classification system that uses a point score based upon initial values of 12 routine physiologic measurements, age, and previous health status, are presented.
Critical Care MedicineAPACHE II-A Severity of Disease Classification System
13,396 Citations1986William A. Knaus, Elizabeth A. Draper +2 more
The form and validation results of APACHE II, a severity of disease classification system, are presented, showing an increasing score was closely correlated with the subsequent risk of hospital death for 5815 intensive care admissions from 13 hospitals.
The LancetASSESSMENT OF COMA AND IMPAIRED CONSCIOUSNESS
13,120 Citations1974Graham M. Teasdale, Bryan Jennett
A clinical scale has been evolved for assessing the depth and duration of impaired consciousness and coma that facilitates consultations between general and special units in cases of recent brain damage, and is useful also in defining the duration of prolonged coma.

Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery & PsychiatryFamily history of subarachnoid haemorrhage: supplemental value of scrutinizing all relatives.
4,146 Citations1997Paut Greebe, Jacoline E. C. Bromberg +3 more
The accuracy of the family history taken at the bedside of patients with recent subarachnoid haemorrhage is modest; a more thorough collection of data is crucial if the decision is taken to screen relatives based on thefamily history.
The LancetA NEW CORONARY PROGNOSTIC INDEX
452 Citations1969R M Norris, Peter W.T. Brandt +3 more
The index provides an unbiased method for the assessment of new forms of treatment for myocardial infarction and could be divided into six groups with an increasing proportionate mortality from 3% to 78%.

Annals of Internal MedicinePrognosis in Nontraumatic Coma
394 Citations1981David T. Levy, DAVID BATES +7 more
Clinical features of comatose patients that appear within the first week are identified and that are important for predicting recovery and designing future therapeutic trials are identified.
BMJDuration of Last Attack in 998 Fatal Cases of Coronary Artery Disease and its Relation to Possible Cardiac Resuscitation
205 Citations1968R. H. McNeilly, John Pemberton
It was found among men, but not among women, that the duration of survival tended to be longer in older patients and in second or subsequent attacks, and among these that there would appear to be special scope for the cardiac ambulance, providing that medical aid is sought and the ambulance is summoned without delay.
CirculationTemperature of the Great Toe as an Indication of the Severity of Shock
205 Citations1969H Joly, Max Harry Weil
Discriminant function analysis showed that an early measurement of toe temperature correctly predicts patient outcome 67% of the time, and a significant correlation was demonstrated between the cardiac output and temperature of the toe.

Journal of the Royal College of Physicians of LondonIncidence, Mortality and Prevention of Infective Endocarditis
45 Citations1986Richard Bayliss, Cyril Clarke +4 more
Since curative treatment became available, reported series from the UK and from abroad have shown considerable differences in mortality and, as the disease is not antibiotic-free, the incidence of the disease has fallen.

Cardiovascular ResearchObjective Index of Haemodynamic Status for Quantitation of Severity and Prognosis of Shock Complicating Myocardial Infarction
32 Citations1968H Shubin, Abdelmonem A. Afifi +2 more
The relative importance of individual and groups of haemodynamic parameters was assessed by the use of discriminant function analysis in patients with acute myocardial infarction and shock and individual measurements reflecting cardiac output and velocity of blood flow were most reliable as indicators of survival.
Intensive Care MedicineAn index to predict outcome in adult respiratory distress syndrome
18 Citations1986Phil E M Smith, I. Gordon
From the peak upper airway pressure, oxygen gradient and the age of the patient, an index was obtained which discriminated between the survivours and those who died from the pulmonary lesion of the syndrome.
Acute myocardial infarction
15 Citations1982Thomas A. Ports, David Hess +1 more
It is, however, important to remember that cardiac pain may actually be due to a dissecting aneurysm of the aorta obstructing the coronary arteries, or to massive pulmoiiary embolism causing a fall in cardiac output and acute coronary insufficiency, in which case anticoagulants may be given or, under particularly favourable circumstances, surgical treatment should be considered.
PubMedCardiogenic shock.
2 Citations1981C E Rackley, R O Russell +2 more
A clinical scheme for the management of cardiogenic shock based on hemodynamic measurements delineates optimal medical management as well as recognition of rupture of the ventricular septum or the papillary muscle.
