Pediatric Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (pSOFA) calculator
Enter the published formula inputs below to calculate and interpret this score.
Clinical inputs
Use PaO₂/FiO₂ when arterial oxygen is available; otherwise use SpO₂/FiO₂. Scores 3 and 4 require respiratory support.
The cardiovascular subscore is the worse of the age-specific MAP category and vasoactive-support category.
