Addition of HbA1c to SOFA score for predicting outcomes in diabetic patients with sepsis and septic shock

Sepsis is a common cause of admissions into intensive care units (ICU’s). SOFA (sequential organ failure assessment) score has been validated as prognostic marker in sepsis and there’s good correlation between scoring mortality patients. Diabetes well-known predisposing factor for we studied whether addition HbA1c to was helpful predicting outcomes diabetic patients with septic shock. H-SOFA max (HbA1c added maximum measured on any day hospital stay) the best predictor in-hospital mortality. The mean (Max) died (in-hospital mortality) group 12.21 (±2.78), discharged 5.49 (±2.68). Next at admission), followed by score. All scores had positive length ICU stay. (indicator glycemic control) when combined (but not itself). These may therefore be physicians intensivists prognostication patient during counselling relatives, including end life discussions.
