We also calculated the predicted and actual mortality rates and standardized mortality ratios. The receiver operating characteristic curves were used to assess discrimination.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Out of the 128 patients, 63 patients (49.21%) died. The mean (\u00b1 standard deviation) admission APACHE II score was 16.7 \u00b1 5.53, while the mean APACHE IV score was 67.25 \u00b1 25.99. The non-survivors had significantly higher APACHE II and IV scores when compared to those who survived (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.001). APACHE II had a slightly better discriminative power (with the area under the Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of 0.78) than APACHE IV (with the area under the ROC curve of 0.74). The mean predicted mortality rate (PMR) of the patient population calculated on the basis of the APACHE II scoring system was 22.46 \u00b1 15.76, and the mean PMR calculated as per the APACHE IV scoring system was 11.64 \u00b1 15.59.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Both APACHE II and APACHE IV underestimated mortality in septic shock patients.
