Table 1 Estimation of Physiologic Ability and Surgical Stress (E-PASS) and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II scoring systems

From: Assessment of postoperative complications using E-PASS and APACHE II in patients undergoing oral and maxillofacial surgery

The E-PASS score consists of three parts for estimation of physiologic ability (PRS), surgical stress (SSS), and their comprehensive score(CRS). The formula for each score was as follows:

PRS = − 0.0686 + 0.00345X1 + 0.323X2 + 0.205X3 + 0.153X4 + 0.148X5 + 0.0666X6

XI: age

X2: absence (0) or presence (1) of severe heart disease

X3: absence (0) or presence (I) of severe pulmonary disease

X4: absence (0) or presence (I) of diabetes mellitus

X5: performance status index (0–4)

X6: American Society of Anesthesiologists physiological status classification (1–5)

SSS = − 0.342 + 0.0139X1 + 0.0392X2 + 0.352X3

XI: blood loss/body weight (g/kg)

X2: Operative time (hours)

X3: Extent of the skin incision (0: minor incision, 1: laparotomy or thoracotomy alone, 2: both laparotomy and thoracotomy)

CRS = − 0.328 + 0.396(PRS) + 0.976(SSS)

The APACHE II score is the sum of the acute physiology score (vital signs, oxygenation, laboratory values), the Glasgow coma score, age, and Choronic health points. The worst values during the first 24 h in the ICU should be used. Glasgow coma score(GCS) = eye-openig score + veabal score (intubated or nonintubated) score + motor score. For CCS component of acute physiology score, subtract GCS from 15 to obtain points assigned.
