SAPS 3—From evaluation of the patient to evaluation of the intensive care unit.Part 2: Development of a prognostic model for hospital mortality at ICU admission

Table 1: Box III, the entry " Leukocytes (highest) " should have read " Leukocytes (lowest) ". Explanation: Patients with high " lowest " leukocytes values higher than 15,000 G/L presented with an excess risk which turned out to be significant. Although leuko-cytes values collected within one hour prior to one hour after ICU admission will not change dramatically it is necessary to clarify this issue. The same mistake occurred on p. 65 of the electronic supplementary material accompanying the article.
