LODS Score — Logistic Organ Dysfunction System

Calculate the Logistic Organ Dysfunction System (LODS) score to quantify the degree of organ dysfunction across six organs — neurological, cardiovascular, renal, pulmonary, hematological, and hepatic.

Clinical Guidance

BMI is a screening measure of body size, not a direct measure of body fat. The standard WHO categories are underweight (<18.5), normal (18.5–24.9), overweight (25–29.9), and obese (≥30).

BMI can overestimate body fat in athletes with high muscle mass and underestimate it in older adults with low muscle mass. Interpret it alongside waist circumference and clinical context rather than as a standalone diagnosis.

How It Works

Calculate the Logistic Organ Dysfunction System (LODS) score to quantify the degree of organ dysfunction across six organs — neurological, cardiovascular, renal, pulmonary, hematological, and hepatic

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Six organs — neurological — The six organs — neurological recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Cardiovascular — The cardiovascular recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Renal — The renal recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Pulmonary — The pulmonary recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Hematological — The hematological recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Hepatic — The hepatic recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the lods score result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the six organs — neurological, cardiovascular, renal, pulmonary, hematological, hepatic for the scenario you are assessing. Calculate the Logistic Organ Dysfunction System (LODS) score to quantify the degree of organ dysfunction across six organs — neurological, cardiovascular, renal, pulmonary, hematological, and hepatic. Use the lods score result to inform your calculation.
