Denver ED Trauma Organ Failure Score
Denver ED Trauma Organ Failure score (Vogel 2014): age ≥ 65, intubation, hematocrit band, SBP < 90, BUN ≥ 30, and WBC ≥ 20,000 give a multiple-organ-failure risk (0–1 low, 2–3 moderate, ≥ 4 high).

Example
- Hematocrit
- 18 %
- Age ≥ 65
- Yes
- Intubation
- Yes
- Systolic BP < 90 mmHg
- No
- BUN ≥ 30 mg/dL
- No
- WBC ≥ 20,000
- No
Result: Denver ED Trauma Organ Failure score 6 — high multiple-organ-failure risk (>= 4).
The tool opens with these values already filled in. Replace them with your own.
What the result means
- 0-1
- Low multiple-organ-failure risk.
- 2-3
- Moderate.
- >= 4
- High. Age, intubation, hematocrit, SBP, BUN, WBC. A risk score, not a treatment order.
What you enter
- Hematocrit
- Age ≥ 65
- Intubation
- Systolic BP < 90 mmHg
- BUN ≥ 30 mg/dL
- WBC ≥ 20,000
