specific score to predict outcome of critical cancer patients; MPM - Mortality Probability Model [1] [2] model to assess risk of death at ICU admission; has prediction models for assessment at admittance, 24h, 48h and 72h after; RIFLE - Risk, injury, failure, loss and end-stage kidney classification [2]
SAPS II was designed to measure the severity of disease for patients admitted to Intensive care units aged 18 or more.. 24 hours after admission to the ICU, the measurement has been completed and resulted in an integer point score between 0 and 163 and a predicted mortality between 0% and 100%.

If you do not claim a critical illness you can request a return of premium as long as you have fulfilled the minimum time period specified within the policy. ROPD - Return of premium on Death. Your premiums are returned to your estate. The ROPD is an optional
The SOFA scoring system is useful in predicting the clinical outcomes of critically ill patients. [8] According to an observational study at an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) in Belgium, the mortality rate is at least 50% when the score is increased, regardless of initial score, in the first 96 hours of admission, 27% to 35% if the score remains unchanged, and less than 27% if the score is reduced.

APACHE II ("Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II") is a severity-of-disease classification system, [1] one of several ICU scoring systems.It is applied within 24 hours of admission of a patient to an intensive care unit (ICU): an integer score from 0 to 71 is computed based on several measurements; higher scores correspond to more severe disease and a higher risk of death.
Unlike some criteria, the Canadian consensus criteria exclude patients with symptoms of mental illness. [9] This definition was updated in 2010 to provide greater specification to the original. Functional impairment must be below defined thresholds in two of the three designated subscales of the Short Form 36 Health Survey i.e. Vitality, Social ...
Human infectious diseases may be characterized by their case fatality rate (CFR), the proportion of people diagnosed with a disease who die from it (cf. mortality rate).It should not be confused with the infection fatality rate (IFR), the estimated proportion of people infected by a disease-causing agent, including asymptomatic and undiagnosed infections, who die from the disease.
