Heart failure (HF) is a major public health problem, with a prevalence of over 23 million worldwide 1. SOFA can be used as a complementary risk score to screen high risk patients who need strict monitoring. SOFA score is associated with increased risk of short-term mortality in ADHF. The areas under the curve of receiver operating characteristic curves for in-hospital mortality and 30-day mortality were 0.765 (95% CI 0.733–0.798) and 0.706 (95% CI 0.676–0.736) respectively. The SOFA Score demonstrated a good predictive accuracy. The SOFA score was significantly associated with in-hospital mortality and 30-day mortality. A total 3232 patients were included in the study. The SOFA score was calculated for all patients. We retrospectively identified patients with first hospitalization with primary diagnosis of ADHF between the years (2008–2018). To assess the capability of SOFA score in predicting short-term mortality in ADHF. Sequential Organ Function Assessment Score (SOFA) is considered an excellent score to predict short-term mortality in sepsis and other life-threatening conditions. Identifying high risk patients is essential to ensure proper management. Acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) is one of the leading causes for hospitalization and mortality.
