Derivation and validation of a simple prognostic risk score to predict short-term mortality in acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema: the SABIHA score.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema (ACPE) is a frequently encountered medical emergency associated with high early mortality rates, but existing tools to predict short-term outcomes for risk stratification have several limitations. Our aim was to derive and validate a simple clinical scoring system using baseline vital signs, clinical and presenting characteristics, and readily available laboratory tests for accurate prediction of short-term mortality in individuals experiencing ACPE.

Methods

This retrospective cohort study comprised 1,088 patients with ACPE from six health centers. Subjects were randomly allocated into derivation and validation cohorts at a 4:3 ratio for comprehensive examination and validation of the prognostic model. Independent predictors of mor
