C. Systolic blood pressure >180 mmHg
D. All are correct
SOFA score is based on six different scores, one each for all of the following EXCEPT-
A. Respiratory
B. Infections
C. Hepatic
D. Coagulation
Quick SOFA score (qSOFA) assists health care providers in estimating the risk of morbidity and mortality due to-

C. Ventilator Associated Pneumonia
D. Sepsis
In shorts
What is full form of SOFA Score?
Sequential organ failure assessment score is called SOFA score
What is the use of SOFA Score?
Track a person’s status during the stay in an intensive care unit (ICU)
Determine the extent of a person’s organ function or rate of failure.
SOFA Score
SOFA scoring system is useful in predicting the clinical outcomes of critically ill patients
| Central nervous system | Cardiovascular system | Respiratory system | Coagulation | Liver | Renal function | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Score | Glasgow coma scale | Mean arterial pressure OR administration of vasopressors required | PaO2/FiO2 [mmHg (kPa)] | Platelets×103/μl | Bilirubin (mg/dl) [μmol/L] | Creatinine (mg/dl) [μmol/L] (or urine output) |
| +0 | 15 | MAP ≥ 70 mmHg | ≥ 400 (53.3) | ≥ 150 | < 1.2 [< 20] | < 1.2 [< 110] |
| +1 | 13–14 | MAP < 70 mmHg | < 400 (53.3) | < 150 | 1.2–1.9 [20-32] | 1.2–1.9 [110-170] |
| +2 | 10–12 | dopamine ≤ 5 μg/kg/min or dobutamine (any dose) | < 300 (40) | < 100 | 2.0–5.9 [33-101] | 2.0–3.4 [171-299] |
| +3 | 6–9 | dopamine > 5 μg/kg/min OR epinephrine ≤ 0.1 μg/kg/min OR norepinephrine ≤ 0.1 μg/kg/min | < 200 (26.7) and mechanically ventilated including CPAP | < 50 | 6.0–11.9 [102-204] | 3.5–4.9 [300-440] (or < 500 ml/day) |
| +4 | < 6 | dopamine > 15 μg/kg/min OR epinephrine > 0.1 μg/kg/min OR norepinephrine > 0.1 μg/kg/min | < 100 (13.3) and mechanically ventilated including CPAP | < 20 | > 12.0 [> 204] | > 5.0 [> 440] (or < 200 ml/day) |
| Assessment | qSOFA score |
|---|---|
| Low blood pressure (SBP ≤ 100 mmHg) | 1 |
| High respiratory rate (≥ 22 breaths/min) | 1 |
| Altered mentation (GCS ≤ 14) | 1 |
The score ranges from 0 to 3 points. The presence of 2 or more qSOFA points near the onset of infection was associated with a greater risk of death or prolonged intensive care unit stay.
