Excerpt

Karvellas and colleagues [1] conducted a multi-center retrospective cohort study to examine, among other things, the prognostic value of the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score for predicting 90-day mortality in critically ill cirrhotic patients receiving liver transplantation. They conclude that the SOFA score at admission, at 48 hours and at liver transplantation was not independently associated with the outcome. This association could potentially play a role in future predictive models, although such models will be restricted to patients for which transplantation decisions would have already been made. …
