Most multiple organ failure (MOF) scores were developed over a decade ago, but little has been done in terms of validation and to understand the differences between populations identified by each of them. Given the lack of a gold standard, validation must rely upon objective clinical and resource utilization outcomes. Thus, we propose to: 1)validate two widely accepted MOF scores (Denver's and Marshall's) examining their association with adverse outcomes in a postinjury population; and 2) compare risk factors, characteristics and outcomes of patients identified by each score. The Denver MOF score grades (from 0-3) 4 organ dysfunctions (lung, kidney, liver, heart) and defines MOF as score > 3. The Marshall score grades, in addition, central nervous system (CNS) and hematologic dysfunction (for a total of 6 organs on a 0 to 4 scale). Using a prospectively collected dataset, MOF scored daily by both scores for 1389 consecutive trauma patients with ISS >15, admitted from 1992-2004, and their outcomes evaluated (death; ventilator-free days, VFD; mechanical ventilation time, MV; and length of stay in the intensive care unit, ICU-LOS). Three major groups could be identified: 1)severe injury group for whom MOF risk factor rates, mortality and utilization were all high (Denver = Marshall= MOF and Denver= MOF + Marshall=No MOF); 2) moderate injury group with medium rate of MOF risk factors, medium utilization and low mortality (Denver= No MOF, Marshall= MOF); and 3) mild injury group for whom risk factor rates, mortality and utilization were all low (Denver = Marshall=No MOF). Both scores performed well, with the Denver MOF score showing greater specificity. The basic concepts of each score can probably be combined to produce an improved MOF score.
