The sequential organ failure assessment (<scp>SOFA</scp>) score is an effective triage marker following staggered paracetamol (acetaminophen) overdose

Abstract

A SOFA score <6 at tertiary care admission following a staggered paracetamol overdose, is associated with a good prognosis. Both the SOFA and APACHE II scores could improve triage of high-risk staggered paracetamol overdose patients.
