Clinical outcome Part III
Part 3: Severity Scores and predicting mortality
Summary
Outcome refers to the result of a process or an event; clinical outcome refers to the results of any healthcare intervention, including the entire range of activities performed in an intensive care unit (ICU). A more elaborate discussion of “Outcome” can be found in the eCourse: Outcome. This eCourse is followed by an eCourse on How to measure outcome. We assume knowledge of these eCourses before continuing this eCourse on how to predict outcome.
