The CytoScore
This dynamic score is intended to provide support in the decision to initiate CytoSorb therapy in refractory septic/vasoplegic shock.
For this purpose, various categories that are meaningful for the hemodynamic condition of the patient are rated with 0, 1 or 2 points in order to arrive at a total score.
Notice:
Final prospective validation of the score is still pending, however first retrospective evaluation* of the score observed

- Indication for CRRT due to AKI
- CytoScore at hour 6 of > 6 points
