SOFA Score Calculator


What is the SOFA Score?

The Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score is a scoring system to determine the extent of a person's organ function or rate of failure. It is used to track a patient's status during the stay in an intensive care unit (ICU) to determine the likelihood of survival.

It consists of 6 key indicators:

  1. Respiratory system (PaO2/FiO2 ratio)
  2. Coagulation system (Platelet count)
  3. Liver (Bilirubin level)
  4. Cardiovascular system (Blood pressure and use of vasopressors)
  5. Central nervous system (Glasgow Coma Scale)
  6. Renal system (Creatinine clearance or urine output)

Each indicator is scored from 0 to 4 based on the degree of abnormality, with a total score ranging from 0 to 24. The higher the score, the more severe the organ dysfunction.

Considerations when using the SOFA Score Calculator:

  • It is meant to be used as a reference only and cannot replace the professional judgment of a clinician.
  • The score needs to be re-evaluated periodically as the patient's condition may change over time.
  • The score results should be analyzed in the context of the patient's overall clinical presentation.
  • The score may not be suitable for certain specific conditions, such as trauma or burns.
  • The actual test results should be used to fill in the corresponding values, rather than relying on estimates.

In summary, the SOFA Score Calculator can provide clinicians with a useful reference, but the final treatment decision should be made by a professional based on a comprehensive assessment of the patient's specific situation.
