Does serial evaluation of the SOFA score predict mortality in critically ill ICU patients?
Critically ill patients admitted to the ICU
Serial evaluation of the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score during the first few days of ICU admission
Prognosis and mortality ratehard clinical
Serial assessment of the SOFA score, particularly an increase during the first 48 hours, is a strong prognostic indicator for mortality in critically ill patients.
Sequential assessment of organ dysfunction during the first few days of ICU admission is a good indicator of prognosis. Both the mean and highest SOFA scores are particularly useful predictors of outcome. Independent of the initial score, an increase in SOFA score during the first 48 hours in the ICU predicts a mortality rate of at least 50%.
