Sequential 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 predicts mortality of patients with a haematological malignancy needing intensive care.
OBJECTIVES Poor survival of patients with a haematological malignancy admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) prompts for proper admission triage and prediction of ICU treatment failure and long-term mortality. We therefore tried to find predictors of the latter outcomes. METHODS A retrospective analysis of charts and a prospective follow-up study were done, of haemato-oncological patients,...
متن کاملSequential 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 کاملComprehensive geriatric assessment increases 30-day survival in the aged acute medical inpatients.
INTRODUCTION Age and comorbidity are associated with length of stay (LOS) and mortality. Our aim was to compare acutely ill elderly medical patients in geriatric care with general medical care, and to examine the effects of comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA). MATERIAL AND METHODS In an observational study, we used data from patients aged 80+ years who had been acutely admitted to depart...
