Performance of a modified Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score in pre-hospital critical care to predict short-term mortality: a prospective, multicentre, validation cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Scoring systems have demonstrated their usefulness in predicting short-term mortality when applied by emergency medical services (EMS). However, their implementation should be supported by validation studies using real-world data. This work aims to validate a previously developed modified Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (mSOFA) score and conduct external revalidation for its use in prehospital critical care to predict short-term mortality.

Methods

This prospective, observational, multicentre, EMS-based validation and external validation study, was conducted across three EMS systems in Spain (one for validation and two for revalidation). Adults with undifferentiated acute conditions who were transported with high priority to the emergency department (ED), exclu
