Abstrakt: It is possible to evaluate ICU performance using severity-of-illness systems, but are these systems objective enough to draw comparison between different units? A software was developed to allow data collection and calculation of the score APACHE II [1] and administrative hospital indicators. To provide homogeneity, all data were collected following the same protocol and verified by one author.
