The schedule of treatments and data collection

The SOFA (Sequential Organ Failure Assessment) score predicts mortality risk for patients in the intensive care unit based on laboratory results and clinical data¹

Coagulation index: PT prothrombin time, APTT activated partial prothrombin time, Fib fibrinogen, D-Dimer D-dimer, PLT platelet count

Inflammatory factors: various cytokines involved in inflammation, such as interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, etc.

PCT (procalcitonin): a protein that increases when severe bacterial, fungal, and parasitic infections, sepsis, and multiple organ failure occur
