Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# APACHE III (APS III) Score Calculation The Acute Physiology Score III (APS III) is the physiological component of APACHE III. It measures patient severity of illness on the first day of ICU stay and provides hospital mortality probability estimates. ## When to Use This Skill - Hospital mortality prediction - Severity stratification and risk adjustment - Case-mix adjustment for benchmarking - Comparing outcomes across ICUs or time periods - Research cohort severity matching ## Score Components The APS III uses the **worst values** from the first 24 hours of ICU stay: ### Vital Signs - Heart rate (normal reference: 75 bpm) - Mean blood pressure (normal reference: 90 mmHg) - Temperature (normal reference: 38C) - Respiratory rate (normal reference: 19 breaths/min) ### Laboratory Values - Hematocrit (normal reference: 45.5%) - WBC (normal reference: 11.5 x10^9/L) - Creatinine (normal reference: 1.0 mg/dL) - BUN (scored from 0, higher is worse) - Sodium (normal reference: 145.5 mEq/L) - Albumin (normal reference: 3.5 g/dL) - Bilirubin (scored from 0, higher is worse) - Glucose (normal reference: 130 mg/dL) ### Blood Gas - PaO2 (for non-ventilated patients with FiO2 < 50%) - A-aDO2 (for

What does the apsiii-score skill do?
Calculate APACHE III (Acute Physiology Score III) for ICU patients in MIMIC-IV. Use for mortality prediction, severity stratification, case-mix adjustment, or risk-adjusted outcome comparisons.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill apsiii-score-hannesill-m4 --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
