APACHE II Score Calculator

Calculate the APACHE II (Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II) ICU severity score. APACHE II = Acute Physiology Score (12 variables, each 0–4 using the worst value in the first 24 h) + Age points (0–6) + Chronic Health points (0/2/5). Range 0–71; higher scores indicate worse prognosis. Oxygenation uses the A-a gradient when FiO₂ ≥ 0.5, otherwise PaO₂. Creatinine points are doubled when acute renal failure is indicated. GCS contributes 15 − GCS. Also reports the base-model predicted mortality: R = 1/(1 + e^(−logit)), logit = −3.517 + 0.146 × score (diagnostic-category weight not included). Thresholds cross-verified against Knaus 1985 (Crit Care Med) and the SFAR scoring table. Not a substitute for clinical judgement. Not medical advice.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
temperature	number	Yes	Core/rectal temperature °C.
map	number	Yes	Mean arterial pressure mmHg.
heartRate	number	Yes	Heart rate beats/min.
respiratoryRate	number	Yes	Respiratory rate breaths/min (vented or spontaneous).
fio2	number	Yes	Fraction of inspired oxygen (0.21–1.0). If ≥0.5, A-a gradient is used.
pao2	number	No	Arterial PaO₂ mmHg. Used when FiO₂ < 0.5.
aaGradient	number	No	Alveolar-arterial gradient mmHg. Used when FiO₂ ≥ 0.5.
ph	number	Yes	Arterial pH.
sodium	number	Yes	Serum sodium mmol/L.
potassium	number	Yes	Serum potassium mmol/L.
creatinine	number	Yes	Serum creatinine mg/dL.
arf	checkbox	No	Acute renal failure doubles the creatinine points.
hematocrit	number	Yes	Hematocrit %.
wbc	number	Yes	White blood cell count ×10³/µL.
gcs	number	Yes	Glasgow Coma Scale total (3–15). Contributes 15 − GCS.
age	number	Yes	Age in years.
chronicHealth	select	Yes	Severe organ insufficiency or immunocompromise: none = 0, elective postoperative = 2, non-operative or emergency postoperative = 5.
