The general characteristics of both risk groups are summarised in table 1. We found that patients with a MEDS score of ⩾12 (group B) had a significantly higher 28 day mortality rate (48.9% v 17.5%, p<0.01) and higher median APACHE II score (25 v 20 points, p<0.01). No difference in the median length of hospital stay was found between the ...
