Serial Evaluation of the SOFA Score During the First 48 Hours in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU)

Description

Ferreira et al studied the SOFA scores of a patient during the first 48 hours in the ICU. The initial score and subsequent changes can help to predict the patient's outcome. The authors are from the Erasme University Hospital and the Free University of Brussels.

Patient selection: ICU

Parameters:

(1) initial SOFA score

(2) subsequent change over the initial 48 hours: decreased, unchanged, increased

Initial SOFA	Mortality
0 or 1	0%
2 to 5	7%
6 or 7	21%
8 or 9	34%
10 or 11	50%
>= 12	95%

from Figure 1

Initial SOFA	Subsequent Change	Mortality
0 or 1	decreased	0%
	unchanged or increased	0%
2 to 7	decreased	6%
	unchanged or increased	36%
8 to 11	decreased	6%
	unchanged or increased	60%
>= 12	decreased	100%
	unchanged or increased	91%
