This app is a medical software tool designed to assess mortality in ICU patients using the SOFA (Sequential Organ Failure Assessment) score. It includes a Quick SOFA (qSOFA) assessment, which is a simplified version focusing on three criteria: respiratory rate, altered mentation, and systolic blood pressure. If the qSOFA score is at least 2, it displays the full SOFA assessment, which includes a more comprehensive set of parameters such as PaO2/FiO2 ratio, platelet count, total bilirubin, mean arterial pressure, serum creatinine, and the Glasgow Coma Scale. The app calculates a qSOFA score and a full SOFA score (if the qSOFA score is at least 2), which can help determine the extent of organ dysfunction and mortality risk.

Use Cases Limitations Evidence Owner's Insight
  • Emergency Assessment: Emergency department clinicians can use the app for a rapid assessment of patients presenting with symptoms suggestive of sepsis or other critical illnesses, allowing for swift triage and initiation of appropriate treatments.
  • Ongoing Monitoring in ICU: Intensive care unit teams can employ the app for continuous monitoring of their patients' organ functions. The app can aid in the early detection of organ dysfunction and help in quantifying the progression of sepsis, which is crucial for adjusting treatment plans.
  • This tool relies on user input for accurate data entry, which could lead to errors in score calculation.
  • The tool does not replace clinical judgment and should be used in conjunction with other diagnostic methods and laboratory tests.
  • The qSOFA and SOFA scores are not definitive diagnostic tools for sepsis; they are indicators of organ dysfunction severity and risk of mortality.

The app was created to address the critical need for rapid assessment of organ failure and sepsis risk in ICU patients. Recognizing the high stakes of timely and accurate diagnosis, the app aims to provide a user-friendly tool that can support clinical judgment and enhance the speed of intervention.
