APACHE-II P-POSSUM
LOS R 0.322 0.374
P value < 0.001 < 0.001
Ventilatory support R 0.554 0.572
P value < 0.001 < 0.001
Ionotropic support R 0.573 0.544
P value < 0.001 < 0.001
Re-exploration R 0.112 0.178
P value 0.161 0.026
AMI or arrhythmia R 0.507 0.518
P value < 0.001 < 0.001
AKI R 0.507 0.518
P value < 0.001 < 0.001

APACHE-II: Acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II; P-POSSUM: Physiological and operative severity for the enumeration of mortality and morbidity; LOS: Length of stay; AKI: Acute kidney injury; AMI: Acute myocardial infarction.
