title: [Use of the Apache II scoring system for clinical evaluation of the status of patients with gastrointestinal hemorrhage].
abstract: The Apache II scoring system has been used to identify a clinical status of 10 patients, admitted to the intensive therapy unit with bleeding to gastrointestinal tract during the period 1. January - 30. Juni 1992. There were 9 men and 1 woman with mean age of 61.5 years (37-82). Apache II score was calculated before beginning of treatment and 4 times during following 3 days every 12 or 24 hours. The mean score before beginning of treatment was 9.7 (5-17). All the patients were treated exclusively by the conservative therapy with mean length of hospitalization 8, 1 days (4-12). The score during the therapy has had a decreasing tendency and statistically significant decrease came after 72 hours of treatment. Mortality rate at mentioned values was zero. The use of the Apache II scoring system contributes to improvement of clinical judgment of patients with gastrointestinal bleeding.
