From: Leptin levels after subarachnoid haemorrhage are gender dependent
Correlation between SOFAsum score and leptin levels. Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) scores organ failure from zero; no organ failure, to four; pronounced organ failure. Six different organ systems are scored; respiration, haematology, hepatic, cardiovascular, renal and central nervous system (CNS). The worst value obtained during a 24-h period is used. In this study the SOFA CNS score was not used. Every days SOFA are summarized = SOFAsum. The SOFA sum was correlated to the leptin value taken within the same 24 h interval during the study period of 0–240 h. a Female patients: Spearman’s r = 0.25, CI (0.10–0.39), p = 0.0007, n = 177 pairs. b Male patients. No correlation, CI (−0.1 to 0.3), p = 0.3, n = 82 pairs
