- ItemThe Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) Score: has the time come for an update?(2023) Moreno, Rui; Rhodes, Andrew; Piquilloud, Lise; Hernández P., Glenn; Takala, Jukka; Gershengorn, Hayley B.; Tavares, Miguel; Coopersmith, Craig M.; Myatra, Sheila N.; Singer, Mervyn; Rezende, Ederlon; Prescott, Hallie C.; Soares, Márcio; Timsit, Jean-François; de Lange, Dylan W.; Jung, Christian; De Waele, Jan J.; Martin, Greg S.; Summers, Charlotte; Azoulay, Elie; Fujii, Tomoko; McLean, Anthony S.; Vincent, Jean-Louis; Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. Departamento de Medicina Intensiva, Facultad de MedicinaThe Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score was developed more than 25 years ago to provide a simple method of assessing and monitoring organ dysfunction in critically ill patients. Changes in clinical practice over the last few decades, with new interventions and a greater focus on non-invasive monitoring systems, mean it is time to update the SOFA score. As a first step in this process, we propose some possible new variables that could be included in a SOFA 2.0. By so doing, we hope to stimulate debate and discussion to move toward a new, properly validated score that will be fit for modern practice.
