What is recorded here?
Defined a six-organ scoring system for describing the degree of organ dysfunction or failure over time in critically ill patients.
Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.
Scientific scope
The record is the exact nine-author 1996 consensus-development paper. It describes organ dysfunction rather than guaranteeing individual mortality prediction; the later multicentre evaluation, Sepsis-3 use and SOFA-2 revision remain separate.
