Original and modified cardiovascular SOFA scores

Score	Original cardiovascular SOFA	Modified cardiovascular SOFA	Vasopressor only cardiovascular SOFA
0	MAP ≥ 70 mmHg	MAP ≥ 70 mmHg Add 1 point if lactate ≥ 2 mmol/L	MAP ≥ 70 mmHg
1	MAP < 70 mmHg	MAP < 70 mmHg OR NEq ≤ 0.2 Add 1 point if lactate ≥ 2 mmol/L	MAP < 70 mmHg
2	Dopamine ≤ 5 Dobutamine (any dose)	0.2 < NEq ≤ 0.5 Add 1 point if lactate ≥ 2 mmol/L	NEq ≤ 0.2
3	Dopamine > 5 OR epinephrine ≤ 0.1 OR norepinephrine ≤ 0.1	NEq > 0.5 Add 1 point if lactate ≥ 2 mmol/L	0.2 < NEq ≤ 0.5
4	Dopamine > 15 OR epinephrine > 0.1 OR norepinephrine > 0.1	NEq > 0.5 AND Lactate ≥ 2 mmol/L	NEq > 0.5
