The Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) Score predicts ICU mortality based on lab results and clinical data.

Dec 21, 2020 · What is the SOFA Score? The Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score is a scoring system that assesses the performance of several organ systems in the body (neurologic, blood, liver, kidney, and blood pressure/hemodynamics) and assigns a score based on the data obtained in each category.

The sequential organ failure assessment score (SOFA score), previously known as the sepsis-related organ failure assessment score, [1] is used to track a person's status during the stay in an intensive care unit (ICU) to determine the extent of a person's organ function or rate of failure.

6 days ago · A qSOFA score ≥ 2 is suggestive of sepsis. 12 Sepsis-3 recommends that, for a qSOFA score < 2, the full SOFA score, including laboratory results, should be used. 12 Though the Sepsis-3 tool is more specific for sepsis, using SOFA may be …

A change in the SOFA score of 2 or more is now a defining characteristic of the sepsis syndrome, and the European Medicines Agency has accepted that a change in the SOFA score is an acceptable surrogate marker of efficacy in exploratory trials of novel therapeutic agents in sepsis.

The baseline Sequential [Sepsis-related] Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score should be assumed to be zero unless the patient is known to have preexisting (acute or chronic) organ dysfunction before the onset of infection. qSOFA indicates …

This review highlights the strengths and weaknesses of commonly used sepsis diagnostic tools, including SOFA, qSOFA and SIRS. The data suggest that SOFA is highly reliable in predicting mortality and organ dysfunction in ICU settings, where comprehensive clinical and …

The SOFA (AUC=0.89) had a high distinctive ability to predict sepsis. When the SOFA score was >11, sensitivity and NPV were both 100%. The SOFA score (AUC=0.75 and 0.72, respectively) was highly distinctive in predicting emergency and in-hospital mortality.

Mar 1, 2025 · In the Sepsis-3 definition, organ dysfunction was identified and quantified using a score developed according to expert opinion: the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score. 3 The SOFA score was chosen because it was historically well established, widely used, and relatively easily implemented. Moreover, although not originally designed as a predictive …
