Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (Sofa) Score in Predicting Hospital Mortaity AmOng Critically Ill Patient

Abstract

Background: The Sofa Score System, or Sequential Organ Failure Assessment, Is A Simple Scing System Used to Predict Outcome, Particularly Death in Icu Patients, Utilizing Readily Available Basic ExaminatiOns. Patients Hospitalized to The Intensive Care Unit (Icu) Require Rigorous Supportive Care as Well as Thorough ExaminatiOns to Determine the Cause. for A Positive Outcome in A Patient with Sepsis, The AdministratiOn of Adequate, Effective Antimicrobial Therapy Is Critical. Failure To Commence Proper Therapy Has Been Linked to An Increase in Morbidity and Mortality. The Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (Sofa) Score Quantify the Severity of Patient’s Illness, Based on The Degree of Organ Dysfunction. Aim of the Study: The Main Aim of The Study to Assess the Level of Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (Sofa) Scores and Mortality Rate AmOng Critically Ill Patients. Methods: Descriptive Research Design Was Adopted for The Study With 60 Samples Which Met the Inclusion Criteria Were Selected by COnvenience Sampling Technique. Demographic Variables Data Were Collected by Using a Multiple-Choice QuestiOnnaire Followed by Assessing the Mortality Rate by Using the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (Sofa) Score. Result: The Study Findings Reveals That the Mortality Rate on The Day 1 Is Very Low and The Day 7 Is Very High and It Will Increase In Between Those Days. When The Sofa Score Decreases, The Mortality Rate Also Decreases and When the Sofa Score Increases the Mortality Rate Also Increases AmOng the Critically Ill Patients in Intensive Care Unit. COnclusiOn: The Sofa Score Is Useful for Predicting Mortality Rate in Critically Ill Patients in Intensive Care Unit.
