Abstract

[MOF scores were originally developed as descriptive measures, but later were designed to predict outcomes such as mortality. MOF scores have progressed from describing an all-or-nothing phenomenon to a continuously evolving syndrome. They score a number of organ systems in order to give an overall score reflecting the degree of dysfunction. MOF scores are important to quantitate the degree of organ failure, to compare the syndrome between studies, populations and trauma systems, and to predict MOF-associated outcomes. While there is no gold standard MOF score, in trauma the Denver, Marshall and SOFA scores are most often used and have been validated for the trauma cohort.]
