Serial Evaluation of the SOFA Score to Predict Outcome in Critically Ill Patients
JAMA · 2001 · 2.8K citations · 20 references
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%.
