Scoring systems are used in the Intensive Care Units (ICU) to provide clinical information about the severity of a disease and an estimate in hospital mortality rate. Scoring systems involves the collection of medical and clinical data regarding a patient and each data variable is assigned points. The data includes information such as organ specific information, diseases, treatments, comorbidity, and interventions. The data variables are often stratified in tables for allocating points. These points are then summated and adjusted with different weighting to give the overall score.
