Multicentre cross-sectional study finds SOFA scores outperforming APACHE II in predicting ICU mortality in sepsis patients, indicating superior clinical utility in critical care settings.

Key Points

To compare the accuracy of the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) and APACHE II scores in predicting hospital and ICU mortality among patients with sepsis in Vietnamese intensive care units.
Multicentre, cross-sectional study conducted across 15 adult ICUs throughout Vietnam.
Included adult patients (aged ≥18 years) admitted to the ICU for sepsis present on four specified study days in 2019.
A SOFA score ≥8 (adjusted OR: 2.717; 95% CI 1.371 to 5.382) and an APACHE II score ≥21 (adjusted OR: 2.668; 95% CI 1.338 to 5.321) were independently associated with increased hospital mortality.
A SOFA score ≥10 independently predicted ICU mortality (adjusted OR: 2.194; 95% CI 1.017 to 4.735), whereas an APACHE II score ≥19 did not.
