No automatic diagnosis or treatment recommendation. SOFA describes organ dysfunction and does not diagnose sepsis, establish a baseline automatically, or prescribe treatment. Confirm units, support status, vasoactive doses, assessment window, and confounders.

What this tool is based on

This versioned record keeps the citations, equation or decision rule, units, test coverage, intended population, and exclusions attached to the tool.

How evidence review works →
Intended population

Critically ill adults when the original SOFA definition and a specified assessment window are appropriate.

Equation record

Six organ-system subscores (respiratory, coagulation, hepatic, cardiovascular, neurologic, renal), each 0–4; total range 0–24.

Unit handling

PaO₂/FiO₂ in mm Hg, platelets ×10³/µL, bilirubin and creatinine mg/dL, MAP mm Hg, vasopressors µg/kg/min, urine output mL/day, and GCS points.

Test coverage

All 30 organ-level categories, threshold boundaries, 0–24 total, and complete-answer requirement.

Do not skip

Limitations and exclusions

  • SOFA does not by itself diagnose sepsis.
  • Baseline score and change over time must not be assumed automatically.
  • Vasoactive dose, respiratory-support status, urine-output interval, and laboratory units must match the published definitions.
  • Sedation, paralysis, chronic organ dysfunction, and other confounders can distort individual components.

About this tool

SOFA Score Calculator for Organ Dysfunction

Use this SOFA calculator to total the six original organ-system components while keeping the selected category for every organ visible.

SOFA describes organ dysfunction and change over time; it does not diagnose sepsis or automatically establish a patient's baseline score.
