Abstract

Sepsis is a severe dysfunction of the body's organs triggered by the immune system's imbalance in reaction to an infection. The Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score is utilized to evaluate the organ failure linked to sepsis. An increase in the SOFA score is associated with worse patient outcomes or higher mortality rates. This study seeks to analyze the correlation between SOFA scores, length of stay, and mortality in sepsis patients. The study subjects are sepsis patients treated in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of Dr. H. Abdul Moeloek Regional General Hospital. The research was conducted from May to October 2023. This study is a prospective cohort analytical observational research conducted at Dr. H. Abdul Moeloek Regional General Hospital and the University of Lampung between May and October 2023. A total of 137 patients were involved during a span of three months, with 89 patients chosen as subjects for this study, while 48 patients were excluded because of incomplete data. The Spearman Correlation normality test displayed a correlation between the SOFA score and Length of Stay with a significance value of 0.367. Since this value is >0.05, H0 is accepted, and H1 is rejected. The Spearman Correlation normality test indicated a correlation between the SOFA score and the patients' final condition with a significance value of 0.000. As this value is <0.05, H0 is rejected, and H1 is accepted. The correlation coefficient of 0.097 indicates a very weak level of association between the SOFA score and Length of Stay, suggesting no significant correlation between the two variables. However, a correlation coefficient of 0.592 denotes a moderately robust level of association between the SOFA score and the Patients' Final Condition, highlighting a correlation between the two variables.
