Objective: To determine the predictive value of mortality of Apache II and SAPS II for ICU patients within the first 24 hours of hospitalization. Subjects: all patients treated at ICU, Bach Mai Hospital from December 1st 2000 to May 31st 2001 (6 months). Method: cross-sectional study. Results: there is a positive correlation between mortality rate and Apache II and SAPS II scores. The risk of mortality predicted by Apache II and SAPS II was in accordance with real mortality. Apache II and SAPS II aren't accurate to prognosticate mortality for individual
