Clinical scoring methods such as the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment
(SOFA) score are frequently used to predict outcome in sepsis, with limited capacity.
Further tools for risk assessment of septic critically ill patients would thus be useful.
Our purpose was to derive a scoring method i.e. Sepsis Mortality Score using multimarker
approach for the prediction of 30-day mortality in septic critically ill patients,
and compare its performance to the SOFA score (Copied from article).
