What it calculates

The “SAPS III” calculator computes SAPS 3 score from 38 parameters: age (years), chemo-, radio-, immunosuppressive or steroid therapy (1 = yes), chronic heart failure nyha iv (1 = yes), haematological cancer (1 = yes), liver cirrhosis (1 = yes), aids (1 = yes), metastatic cancer (1 = yes), hospital days before icu (days), admitted from: 0 operating/recovery room, 1 emergency room, 2 other icu, 3 ward/other, vasoactive drugs before admission (1 = yes), unplanned icu admission (1 = yes), surgical status: 0 scheduled surgery, 1 no surgery, 2 emergency surgery, surgical site: 0 other, 1 transplant, 2 trauma, 3 cabg without valve repair, 4 neurosurgery for stroke, reason: rhythm disturbances (1 = yes), reason: seizures (1 = yes), reason: hypovolaemic shock (1 = yes), reason: acute abdomen or other digestive (1 = yes), reason: coma, stupor, confusion, agitation, delirium (1 = yes), reason: septic shock (1 = yes), reason: anaphylactic, mixed or undefined shock (1 = yes), reason: liver failure (1 = yes), reason: focal neurological deficit (1 = yes), reason: severe pancreatitis (1 = yes), reason: intracranial mass effect (1 = yes), hospital-acquired infection at admission (1 = yes), lower respiratory tract infection at admission (1 = yes), gcs (lowest) (points), total bilirubin (highest) (µmol/L), body temperature (highest) (°C), creatinine (highest) (µmol/L), heart rate (highest) (bpm), white blood cells (highest) (×10⁹/L), ph (lowest), platelets (lowest) (×10⁹/L), systolic bp (lowest) (mmHg), mechanical ventilation or ventilatory support (1 = yes), pao₂ (lowest) (mmHg), fio₂ (%).

Used by professionals and patients to assess health metrics, dosages, and risks.

Example calculation

With parameters Age = 65 years, Chemo-, radio-, immunosuppressive or steroid therapy (1 = yes) = 0, Chronic heart failure NYHA IV (1 = yes) = 0, Haematological cancer (1 = yes) = 0, Liver cirrhosis (1 = yes) = 0, AIDS (1 = yes) = 0, Metastatic cancer (1 = yes) = 0, Hospital days before ICU = 0 days, Admitted from: 0 operating/recovery room, 1 emergency room, 2 other ICU, 3 ward/other = 1, Vasoactive drugs before admission (1 = yes) = 0, Unplanned ICU admission (1 = yes) = 1, Surgical status: 0 scheduled surgery, 1 no surgery, 2 emergency surgery = 1, Surgical site: 0 other, 1 transplant, 2 trauma, 3 CABG without valve repair, 4 neurosurgery for stroke = 0, Reason: rhythm disturbances (1 = yes) = 0, Reason: seizures (1 = yes) = 0, Reason: hypovolaemic shock (1 = yes) = 0, Reason: acute abdomen or other digestive (1 = yes) = 0, Reason: coma, stupor, confusion, agitation, delirium (1 = yes) = 0, Reason: septic shock (1 = yes) = 0, Reason: anaphylactic, mixed or undefined shock (1 = yes) = 0, Reason: liver failure (1 = yes) = 0, Reason: focal neurological deficit (1 = yes) = 0, Reason: severe pancreatitis (1 = yes) = 0, Reason: intracranial mass effect (1 = yes) = 0, Hospital-acquired infection at admission (1 = yes) = 0, Lower respiratory tract infection at admission (1 = yes) = 0, GCS (lowest) = 15 points, Total bilirubin (highest) = 15 µmol/L, Body temperature (highest) = 37 °C, Creatinine (highest) = 90 µmol/L, Heart rate (highest) = 90 bpm, White blood cells (highest) = 8 ×10⁹/L, pH (lowest) = 7.4, Platelets (lowest) = 200 ×10⁹/L, Systolic BP (lowest) = 120 mmHg, Mechanical ventilation or ventilatory support (1 = yes) = 0, PaO₂ (lowest) = 90 mmHg, FiO₂ = 21 % the result is 38 (Data within 1 h before or after ICU admission).
