Abstract
Objective: The objective was to identify the association between admission scores and unfavorable outcomes in ICU patients. Methods: This is a cross-sectional analysis of a prospective cohort. Scores were used: Simplified Acute Physiology III (SAPS III), Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA), Nursing Activities Score (NAS) and Charlson's comorbidity index (ICC). Data were collected from patients aged 18 years or older from October 2018 to July 2019. The sample consisted of 100 patients, with an average age of 68 ± 19 years. The scores calculated at admission were: ICC (4 ± 3), SAPS III (28 ± 12) and SOFA (3 ± 3) and at the outcome were 2 ± 4 (SOFA) and 29 ± 16 (SAPS III). Results: The prevalent source was emergency, with cardiovascular diagnosis, personal history of previous surgery, SAH as a comorbidity, noradrenaline and fentanyl admission support and the most used device for bladder catheter delay. Conclusion: The association of unfavorable clinical outcomes to the patient with assistance scores can be evidenced. Its use in clinical practice is essential in order to guide the care provided to critical patients.
