Automated Calculation of Sequential Organ Failure Assessment ( <scp>SOFA</scp> ) Score in the Intensive Care Unit: Algorithm Development, Validation, and Association With 30‐Day Mortality

In this article, the authors report results of a retrospective multicenter study, where they used a large cohort of adult ICU patients for developing and validating an automated algorithm for calculating SOFA scores. In validation, they found that the automatically calculated score was comparable to scores manually calculated by experienced clinicians. The automatically calculated maximum SOFA and Day 2 SOFA scores performed well in predicting 30-day mortality.
