Selecting only the pa-tients with NAS more than 51 we found that 41 in 83 died and 42 in 83 survived. Those whose NAS were under 51, only 3 in 65 died and 62 in 65 survived (p < 0.005), identifying an statistically significant group. CONCLUSIONS: In this study the mean value of NAS were 51.5%. There were good correlation with the APA-CHE II index and we shown that the mortality rate was high in the higher NAS values.
