In summary:
- The ICH score is a number that is helpful in conveying disease severity
- Limitations include that it was determined from a cohort in which early withdrawal of care was allowed which biases towards the self-fufiling prophecy
- Like many scores, it captures neither the context of injury nor patient specific factors such as frailty and reserve.
- Use it as part of the diagnostic evaluation, but not as a determination of who gets maximally aggressive care and who doesn’t!
