ABSTRACT

This cohort study investigates whether the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score is accurate enough to discriminate death from survival, and thus perhaps be a ventilator triage tool, for US patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) hospitalized in intensive care units and requiring mechanical ventilation.
