The relationship between sequential
organ failure assessment (SOFA) score
and mortality in COVID-19 patients with
ARDS

ARDS; COVID-19; mortality; SOFA

Background: The WHO declared a COVID-19 pandemic on January 30,
2020. Five percent of all patients with coronavirus disease-19 symptoms are
emergency and critical cases of ARDS by 49% mortality. The SOFA score is
an assessment in intensive care unit patients to determine the level of organ
failure.
Purpose:The research aimed to determine the relationship between SOFA
scores and mortality in coronavirus disease-19 patients with ARDS.
Methods: This type of research was quantitative with a retrospective cohort
design. The population was coronavirus disease-19 patients with ARDS in
the intensive care unit room at RSUD dr. Moewardi in January-September
2021 with 485 people. Eighty-three (83) respondents were selected through
the purposive sampling technique. The research instrument used the SOFA
scoring sheet.
Results: The study on the characteristics of respondents revealed that
57.8% were male, the average age of respondents was 57.31 years and
57.8% with comorbid diseases. The abnormal SOFA scores were 96.4%,
91.6% mortality. The Chi-Square test showed a p-value of 0.018.
Conclusion: There is a relationship between SOFA scores and mortality in
coronavirus disease-19 patients with ARDS. SOFA score could be used as
a predictor of mortality in coronavirus disease-19 patients with ARDS. SOFA
score scores can describe the patient’s prognosis, because SOFA scores
have an assessment of all six organ functions such as respiration (PaO2 /
FiO2), blood pressure, creatinine and diuresis, bilirubin, platelets, and GCS,
so that it is effective in assessing organ failure.
