Is MOF an outcome parameter or a transient, adaptive state in critical illness?
2009
Purpose of review:
The term “multi-organ failure” carries the negative connotation of major homeostatic breakdown and severe malfunction. However, this traditional paradigm may not be necessarily accurate. This review will investigate the rationale for no longer considering multi-organ failure (MOF) to be simply a “failed” pathophysiological state.
