Key result
The proposed Modified SOFA (MSOFA) score predicted ICU mortality with similar high diagnostic accuracy to the original SOFA score (AUC 0.837 vs 0.857 at admission).

Offers a potential simplified alternative for ICU mortality prediction; leaves open replacement of SOFA pending prospective validation.
Observational (n=250)
Does the proposed MSOFA score predict ICU mortality as accurately as the original SOFA score in critically ill patients?
The proposed MSOFA score demonstrates high diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity for predicting ICU mortality, comparable to the original SOFA score.
Baradari et al. (2016) conducted an observational in Critically ill patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) (n=250). Modified SOFA (MSOFA) score vs. Original SOFA score was evaluated on ICU mortality. The proposed Modified SOFA (MSOFA) score predicted ICU mortality with similar high diagnostic accuracy to the original SOFA score (AUC 0.837 vs 0.857 at admission).
