Sofa Score Calculator

It is a scoring system used in medical settings to assess the severity of organ dysfunction in critically ill patients. It evaluates dysfunction in six organ systems: respiratory, cardiovascular, hepatic, coagulation, renal, and neurological. Each system is assigned a score based on specific criteria, and the total scores indicate the overall severity of organ failure. It's commonly used in intensive care units (ICUs) to monitor and manage critically ill patients.

- It tracks a person's status during the stay in the ICU to determine the extent of a person's organ function or rate of failure.

- The SOFA scoring system is useful in predicting the clinical outcomes of critically ill patients. According to an observational study at an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) in Belgium, the mortality rate is at least 50% when the score is increased, regardless of the initial score, in the first 96 hours of admission, 27% to 35% if the score remains unchanged, and less than 27% if the score is reduced. The score ranges from 0 (best) to 24 (worst) points.

- The SOFA scoring system is a mortality prediction score that is based on the degree of dysfunction of six organ systems. The score is calculated on admission and every 24 hours until discharge using the worst parameters measured during the prior 24 hours.
