Abstract
Predicting mortality in patients on continuous venovenous hemofiltration and hemodiafiltration
Highlights
The purpose of this study is to correlate levels of mortality in patients on CVVH/D with the degree of illness as determined by the APACHE II score
Twenty-two (26.5%) patients had acute on chronic renal failure and sixty-one (73.5%) had acute renal failure
All had at least three-system failure
Summary
The purpose of this study is to correlate levels of mortality in patients on CVVH/D with the degree of illness as determined by the APACHE II score. We identified variables that were part of the APACHE II score that had the most significant impact on outcome. No study has looked at this particular question. This could give physicians, patients and families better information on which to base care decisions
