Factors related to morbidity and mortality

Factors Morbidity
Mortality
Cut-off level Positive LR AUC Cut-off level Positive LR AUC
APACHE-II 8.5 5 0.72 8.5 5 0.88
BE -5 3.36 0.69 -5 4.63 0.84
CT-INDEX 2 2.04 0.67 3 4.3 0.68
BUN (mg/dL) 22 2.23 0.70 23 2.85 0.70
CRP (mg/L) 142 2.03 0.72 160 2.03 0.82
LDH (U/L) 667 4.07 0.82 667 2.79 0.82

The AUC (Area Under Curve) value near to 1.00 means having high prediction rate of the morbidity and mortality. Positive LR (likelihood ratio) is also correlated with high prediction rate of the morbidity and mortality. CRP: Serum C-reactive protein; LDH: Lactate dehydrogenase; BE: Base excess.
