Evaluation of the performance of disease severity indices (SOFA, SAPS III, and MPM II) for the prediction of mortality rate in COVID-19 patients admitted to the intensive care units: a retrospective cross-sectional study
COVID-19 patients admitted to the ICU with higher SOFA, MPM, and SAPS scores suffered from higher mortality rates. Because the SOFA score showed high predictive accuracy, this scoring system should be considered a priority as an essential tool in triaging and managing critically ill COVID-19 patients.
