How can you use “oltx” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
· When the newly derived OLTX specific diagnostic category weight was applied, mortality prediction, discrimination and calibration of APACHE II improved.
APACHE = Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation; CI = confidence interval; GCS = Glasgow Coma Score; ICU = intensive care unit; OLTX = orthotopic liver transplantation; ROC = receiver operating characteristic; SMR = standardized mortality ratio.
ICUs that use APACHE II as their database severity of illness scoring system will find it easy to apply the system to this subgroup of patients rather than implementing a special disease-specific system exclusively for OLTX patients.
The purpose of the study was to validate the newly derived postoperative orthotopic liver transplantation (OLTX)-specific diagnostic weight for APACHE II in independent databases.
