Abstract |
The Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score is an attractive risk prediction model because of its simplicity and graded assessment of morbidity and mortality. Due to changes in clinical practice over time, the cardiovascular component of the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score no longer accurately reflects current clinical practice. To address this limitation, we developed and validated a modified cardiovascular component of the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score that takes into account all vasoactive agents used in current clinical practice, uses shock index as a substitute for mean arterial pressure, and incorporates serum lactate as a biomarker for shock states. |
