Sequential Organ Failure Assessment Component Score Prediction of In-hospital Mortality From Sepsis.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Early organ dysfunction in sepsis confers a high risk of in-hospital mortality, but the relative contribution of specific types of organ failure to overall mortality is unclear. The objective of this study was to assess the predictive ability of individual types of organ failure to in-hospital mortality or prolonged intensive care.

Methods

Retrospective cohort study of adult emergency department patients with sepsis from October 1, 2013, to November 10, 2015. Multivariable regression was used to assess the odds ratios of individual organ failure types for the outcomes of in-hospital death (primary) and in-hospital death or ICU stay ≥ 3 days (secondary).

Results

Of 2796 patients, 283 (10%) experienced in-hospital mortality, and 748 (27%) experienced in-hospi
