چکیده
Introduction Prognostic scores are important for clinical and administrative management of intensive care units (ICU). SOFA score was designed to describe the sequence of complications during the patient ́s stay in the ICU, not to predict outcomes. However, it has been shown that high scores on the SOFA score are associated with high mortality. ΔSOFA is a measure derived from the SOFA score defined as the difference between the SOFA score at admission and the achieved in a determined point of time.
