Abstract

Prospective cohort study realized in the adult intensive care unit (ICU) of a University Hospital to evaluate the utility of the TISS 28 score, using a protocol applied to 1641 patients from January 2000 to December 2002, based on the direct observation of patients and medical and nurse registers of therapeutic procedures and monitoring. The Chi-square test, Student's t test and Kruskal-Wallis were used to compare the TISS 28 score and some characteristics of survivors and no survivors patients. The results showed that the TISS 28 score stratified the patients by severity level and evidenced the relation between high scores and mortality of the analyzed patients.

RLAE’s authorship concept is based on the substantial contribution by each of the individuals listed as authors, mainly in terms of conceiving and planning the research project, collecting or analyzing and interpreting data, writing and critical review. Indication of authors’ names under the article title is limited to six. If more, authors are listed on the online submission form under Acknowledgements. The possibility of including more than six authors will only be examined on multicenter studies, considering the explanations presented by the authors.
Including names of authors whose contribution does not fit into the above criteria cannot be justified. Those names can be included in the Acknowledgements section.
