The reason for staying patients with abdominal pathology at the department of intensive therapy and resuscitation is the somatic severity of the initial state of the patient, complicated postoperative period, severe concomitant pathology and the need for constant qualified supervision and care. The aim of the study – to determine and analyze the dynamics of the severity of the condition of patients operated on acute and chronic abdominal pathology in the reanimation and intensive care unit on the basis of APA CHE II scoring, in the modification of A. P. Radzykhovskyi. Materials and Methods. A retrospective analysis of medical records of 85 patients who were in inpatient treatment in the intensive care unit for acute and chronic abdominal pathology was conducted. The severity of patients with postoperative periodic dynamics was determined using the APA CHE II grade scoring grade in the APA CHE II modification (1997) based on a set of clinical and laboratory data. Statistical processing of data was carried out by means of general statistics for calculating averages, comparing the mean values by means of non-parametric statistics using the MedCalc for Windows program. They found that the score of the APA CHE II score in the patient's assessment of severity was sufficiently informative for a quick and adequate assessment of the patient's condition in the work of another medical nurse.
