The most common system is the 2nd version of the Acute Physiologic Assessment and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) score introduced in 1985. It generates a point score ranging from 0 to 71 based on 12 physiologic variables, age, and underlying health (see Acute Physiologic Assessment and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II Scoring System*). The APACHE III system was developed in 1991. This system is more complex, has 17 physiologic variables, and is somewhat less used. There are many other systems, including the 2nd Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS II), the Mortality Prediction Model (MPM), and the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score.
