Objective.—To develop and validate a new Simplified Acute Physiology Score, the SAPS II,
from a large sample of surgical and medical patients, and to provide a method to convert the
score to a probability of hospital mortality. Design and Setting.—The SAPS II and the
probability of hospital mortality were developed and validated using data from consecutive
admissions to 137 adult medical and/or surgical intensive care units in 12 countries.
Patients.—The 13 152 patients were randomly divided into developmental (65%) and …
