The 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.
序贯器官衰竭评估(SOFA)评分系统于 25 年前开发,旨在为危重症患者的器官功能障碍评估和监测提供一种简单的方法。过去几十年间,临床实践发生了变化,新的干预措施和对非侵入性监测系统的关注增加,这意味着现在是时候更新 SOFA 评分了。作为这一过程的第一步,我们提出了一些可能包含在 SOFA 2.0 中的新变量。通过这样做,我们希望能够激发讨论和辩论,以制定一个新的、经过适当验证的评分系统,使其适用于现代临床实践。
