Objective. The evidence regarding the relationship between Acute Physiological and Chronic Health Assessment (APACHE) IV scores and emergency intensive care unit (EICU) mortality in patients following organ transplantation remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between APACHE IV score and EICU mortality. Methods. Data from 391 American men and women admitted to the EICU after undergoing organ transplants including heart, bone marrow, liver, kidney, lung, and pancreas in the United States. We used this data to analyze the relationship between APACHE IV scores and in-hospital mortality in the postoperative EICU. The primary endpoint was ICU hospitalization mortality after organ transplantation. The entire study data was extracted from the EICU database and uploaded to the DataDryad website. Results. Interaction tests indicate age, respiratory failure, and hormone use can modify the association between APACHE IV and EICU mortality. A stronger association of APACHE and mortality can be observed at &lt;60 years old, no respiratory failure, and no use of hormones. In contrast, there was no association between respiratory failure, hormone use, APACHE, and ICU mortality in patients over 60 years of age. Conclusion. When using the APACHE score for risk stratification of critically ill patients after transplantation, the patient’s age, respiratory failure, and use of hormones should be taken into account.
