ICU Scores: Mutiple Organ Dysfunction Score (MODS)

multiple organ dysfunction score, constructed using simple physiologic measures of dysfunction in six organ systems, mirrors organ dysfunction as the intensivist sees it and correlates strongly with the ultimate risk of ICU mortality and hospital mortality

Multiple organ dysfunction score: a reliable descriptor of a complex clinical outcome.
Crit Care Med. 1995 Oct;23(10):1638-52. Review.
