Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Age more or equal to 18 years. 2. All ICU admissions during the study period. 3. Availability of clinical/physiological data within the first 24 hours of ICU admission to calculate APACHE II and APACHE IV.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Admissions for palliative or comfort only care at entry (active DNAR with comfort only orders). 2. Refusal/withdrawal of consent (if consent model requires explicit consent). 3. Major data gaps rendering APACHE computation impossible despite prospective capture (e.g., more than 20 percent critical variables missing). 4. Extreme outliers (e.g., ICU stay more than 60 days) for sensitivity analyses; primary analysis will retain all unless clearly erroneous.
