The Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score: a useful prognostic instrument after cardiac surgery for the elderly patient

چکیده
Materials and methods Design: analysis of a prospectively collected database. Setting: mixed Intensive Care Unit (ICU) in an University Hospital. Patients: A total of 70 patients (ASA II-IV) aged >65 submitted to cardiac surgery. They were evaluated on 24,48 and 72 hours after ICU admission. All post-operative ASA IV-E (E= emergency) and all ICU patients with different diagnosis were excluded from data collection. Interventions: the collection of raw data necessary for the computation of a SOFA score on 24, 48 and 72 hours after admission and basic demographic and clinical statistics. Data collection: We collected the parameters in order to calculate the Admission (AD), Daily, Mean, Total Maximum (TM) and Delta (Δ) SOFA score at the specific time points mentioned above.

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 کاملComparing the Scores of Sequential Organ Failure Assessment and a Proposed Bedside Tool in Patients with Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome Admitted to ICU
Background and purpose: Sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) is used to assess the severity of the disease and mortality rate in patients admitted to ICU. SOFA requires experiments that are impractical in centers with limited resources. The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic value of bedside SOFA (b SOFA) and SOFA scores in mortality of ICU patients. Materials and methods: ...

Background: The purpose of the present study was to examine the role of mean platelet volume (MPV) in comparison with Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA), quick SOFA (qSOFA), and Mortality in Severe Sepsis in the Emergency Department (MISSED) scoring systems in predicting hospital mortality among patients with severe sepsis. Methods: This follow-up stud...
متن کاملAssessment of SOFA Score as a Diagnostic Indicator in Intensive Care Medicine
Intensive care unit mortality is strongly associated with organ failure rate and severity. The sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score is assessed to evaluate its efficacy as a diagnostic indicator. Statistical analyses investigate the SOFA score distributions in the days leading up to patient mortality and patient discharge. It is found that the SOFA score is not an effective predicto...
متن کاملSequential Organ Failure Assessment predicts outcomes of pulse indicator contour continuous cardiac output-directed goal therapy
According to the new sepsis definitions, septic shock is defined as a subset of sepsis in which the underlying circulatory and cellular/metabolic abnormalities are profound enough to substantially increase mortality. We evaluated the predictive efficacy of the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score in critically ill patients with septic shock undergoing pulse indicator contour continu...
