MODS — Multiple Organ Dysfunction Score

Calculate the Multiple Organ Dysfunction Score (MODS) to quantify dysfunction across six organ systems: respiratory, renal, hepatic, cardiovascular, hematologic, and neurological.

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 Multiple Organ Dysfunction Score (MODS) to quantify dysfunction across six organ systems: respiratory, renal, hepatic, cardiovascular, hematologic, and neurological

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Six organ systems: respiratory — The six organ systems: respiratory recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Renal — The renal recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Hepatic — The hepatic recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Cardiovascular — The cardiovascular recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Hematologic — The hematologic recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Neurological — The neurological recorded for the scenario being assessed.

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

How to Use

Enter the six organ systems: respiratory, renal, hepatic, cardiovascular, hematologic, neurological for the scenario you are assessing. Calculate the Multiple Organ Dysfunction Score (MODS) to quantify dysfunction across six organ systems: respiratory, renal, hepatic, cardiovascular, hematologic, and neurological. Use the mods score result to inform your calculation.
