Scoring systems for ICU and surgical patients:

Rotterdam Score (Meningococcal septic shock in children) 

Variables	Values (laboratory studies were performed at the time of admission)
Potassium (mmol/L)
Base excess (mmol/L)
Platelet count (X 109/L)
C. Reactive Protein (mg/L)	(all values are mandatory before computing)
	Rotterdam Score = Rotterdam Score (RS) = 1.01 + (1.21*serum potassium level) - (0.29*base excess) - (0.024*Platelet count) - (3.75 log*Serum CRP level) Predicted Death Rate = Predicted Death Rate = e(RS) / (1 + e(RS))
