RESUMEN
Objective To compare the prognostic value of electronic SOFA (eSOFA) scores and simplified SOFA (sSOFA) scores in evaluating the prognosis of patients with sepsis. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted of clinical data of 245 patients with sepsis admitted to the Department of Emergency and Critical Care Medicine, Shanghai Pudong Hospital from August 2016 to August 2019. Clinical end points were survival status 28 days after hospital admission. eSOFA score, sSOFA score, qSOFA score and SOFA score were evaluated to predict patient prognosis using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). Results AUC of eSOFA score, sSOFA score, qSOFA score and SOFA score for predicting the prognosis of the patients was 0.757 (95% CI 0.686-0.828), 0.721 (95% CI 0.665-0.787), 0.662 (95% CI 0.586-0.738), 0.806 (95% CI 0.747-0.866, respectively. The eSOFA score was superior to the sSOFA score (Z=2.317, P=0.021) in terms of AUC. Conclusions The eSOFA and sSOFA scores have predictive value for the prognosis of sepsis, and eSOFA score is better than sSOFA score.
