About this trial
This study aims to evaluate how well a new scoring system called the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment-2 (SOFA-2) works in adult intensive care units in Türkiye.
SOFA-2 is designed to measure the severity of organ dysfunction in critically ill patients using routinely collected clinical and laboratory data. It is an updated version of the original SOFA score and reflects modern intensive care practices.
In this multicenter observational study, adult patients admitted to participating intensive care units will be followed during their ICU stay. SOFA and SOFA-2 scores will be calculated during the first 24 hours of admission, and in patients with longer stays, additional scores will be recorded. No additional tests or treatments will be performed as part of the study.
The main goal of the study is to examine the relationship between SOFA-2 scores and intensive care unit mortality. The results are expected to help clinicians better assess disease severity and outcomes in critically ill patients.

Trial population
The study population consists of adult patients admitted to participating intensive care units across Türkiye. Eligible participants are critically ill adults who require intensive care monitoring and treatment and remain in the intensive care unit for more than 24 hours. The study includes a broad and heterogeneous ICU population reflecting routine clinical practice and does not target a specific dise

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Association Between 24-Hour SOFA-2 Score and ICU Mortality
The association between the total SOFA-2 score calculated within the first 24 hours of intensive care unit admission and all-cause ICU mortality. Higher scores show worse outcomes.
Secondary outcomes
Reclassification Performance of SOFA-2 Compared With SOFA
Comparison of patient risk classification between SOFA and SOFA-2 scores with respect to ICU mortality.Higher scores show worse outcomes.
