The best method to prognosticate mortality in patients with ARF
remains controversial. Mehta and colleauges measured APACHE II
and APACHE III scores serially in ICU patients with ARF along
with Organ System Failure (OSF) scores. 224 patients were
followed. The accuracy of all scores increased the later in the
course of the patient they were applied. The APACHE III score
was slightly better than the APACHE II score, and the OSF score
appeared to be best of all.
