Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to validate a modified Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (mSOFA) that uses the Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS) instead of the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) to predict ICU mortality.
- Despite differences in the mean scores, both SOFA and mSOFA were similarly effective in predicting ICU mortality, indicating that RASS can serve as a reliable substitute for GCS.
- The findings suggest that incorporating alternative neurologic assessments like RASS into severity scoring systems can maintain their predictive validity for patient outcomes in critical care settings.
