Introduction[edit | edit source]
The sequential organ failure assessment score (SOFA score), formerly termed the sepsis-related organ failure assessment score[1], is used to monitor a patient's condition while they are in an intensive care unit (ICU) in order to gauge how well their organs are functioning or how quickly they are failing[2][3]. Although many different scoring systems have been created, the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score is now the most used in real-world applications[1] [3][4]. In contrast to other scores (e.g. Multiple Organ Dysfunction Score and Logistic Organ Dysfunction System ), which established models using statistical techniques, it was developed by consensus[3].
Objective[edit | edit source]
It is employed to keep an eye on a patient's condition while they are in an intensive care unit (ICU) to determine how well or rapidly their organs are failing. The SOFA score does not distinguish between the impacts of acute organ dysfunction associated to critical illness and persistent organ failure occurring owing to underlying disease.
Intended Population[edit | edit source]
Method of Use[edit | edit source]
Six distinct scores, one for each of the respiratory, cardiovascular, hepatic, coagulation, renal, and neurological systems (central nervous system)make up the final result. The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) served as the basis for calculating CNS dysfunction. Each organ system received a score ranging from 0 (normal) to 4 (most abnormal), with a minimum SOFA score of 0 and a maximum SOFA score of 24[1].
The fast SOFA score (qSOFA) aids medical professionals in determining the likelihood of morbidity and mortality as a result of sepsis
