Specificity and reliability of prognostic indexes in intensive care evaluation: the spontaneous cerebral haemorrhage case
Journal of Evaluation in Clinical Practice, 04/21/09
Barbieri A et al. - Regional quality controls use generic prognostic indexes (SAPSII) in relation to mortality and outcome to assess ICUs, which is appropriate when dealing with a general facility when there is not a predominant type of patient, but it may bias the evaluation if the population with specific pathologies (ICH), not included in the general index, is statistically considerable, leading to an incorrect criticality assessment, an inappropriate strategic plan and the subsequent inefficient resource allocation.
