Sequential Organ Failure Assessment Score Can Predict Mortality in Patients with Paraquat Intoxication
INTRODUCTION Paraquat poisoning is characterized by multi-organ failure and pulmonary fibrosis with respiratory failure, resulting in high mortality and morbidity. The objective of this study was to identify predictors of mortality in cases of paraquat poisoning. Furthermore, we sought to determine the association between these parameters. METHODS A total of 187 patients were referred for man...
متن کاملSequential organ failure assessment score predicts mortality after coronary artery bypass grafting
BACKGROUND Mortality after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is generally associated with underlying disease and surgical factors overlooked in preoperative prognostic models. Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE II) scores are widely used in intensive care units for outcome prediction. This study investigated the accuracy of...
متن کاملSequential organ failure assessment score as the determinant of outcome for patients with severe sepsis.
AIM To evaluate the impact of organ dysfunction in severe sepsis and determine the effectiveness of organ dysfunction scores to discriminate outcome after admission to the intensive care unit (ICU). METHODS Patients with a diagnosis of severe sepsis and at least one organ dysfunction on the first day in the ICU (n=117) were included in the prospective observational study. The presence of orga...
متن کاملComparison of Acute Physiology, Age, Chronic Health Evaluation III score with initial Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score to predict ICU mortality.
Critically ill patients are provided with highest level of monitoring, care and treatment in Intensive Care Unit (ICU), which is very expensive and consumes many hospital resources. Various scoring systems have been developed to predict outcome in ICU patients so as to help physicians to prioritize patient admission and management. The objective of this study was to compare Acute Physiology and...
متن کاملApplication of a modified sequential organ failure assessment score to critically ill patients
The purpose of the present study was to explore the usefulness of the Mexican sequential organ failure assessment (MEXSOFA) score for assessing the risk of mortality for critically ill patients in the ICU. A total of 232 consecutive patients admitted to an ICU were included in the study. The MEXSOFA was calculated using the original SOFA scoring system with two modifications: the PaO2/FiO2 rati...
