Correlation between SOFA score and death in a study of differences in COVID-19 fatality rates among ethnic groups, Hawaii, USA, 2020–2022. We used SOFA scores collected at admission for 562/5,494 (10.2%) patients included in the study. Dotted line indicates trend in fatality rate by SOFA score; dots indicate average fatality rate by SOFA score. We found higher SOFA scores strongly correlated with higher fatality rates. SOFA, sequential organ failure assessment.
