Abstract pSepsis is a global healthcare problem and consider the leading cause of death from infection so that, early recognition and diagnosis of sepsis is required to prevent the transition into septic shock, which is associated with higher mortality rate As part of the 2016 SCCM/ESICM evaluation of criteria for identifying septic patients, the task force compared traditional SIRS criteria to other methods, including the Logistic Organ Dysfunction System (LODS) and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) scoring. Based on this analysis, the authors recommended use of SOFA scoring to assess the severity of organ dysfunction in a potentially septic patient. |
