Abstract

Multiorgan dysfunction syndrome (MODS) remains a major complication and challenge to treat patients with critical illness in different intensive care unit settings. The exact mechanism and pathophysiology of MODS is complex and remains unexplored. We reviewed the literature from January 2011 to August 2019 to analyze the underlying mechanisms, prognostic factors, MODS scoring systems, organ systems dysfunctions, and the management of MODS. We used the search engines PubMed, MEDLINE, Scopus, and Google Scholar with the keywords “multiple organ dysfunction syndrome,” “intensive care units,” “multiorgan failure,” “MODS scoring system,” and “MODS management.” The initial search yielded 3550 abstracts, of which 91 articles were relevant to the scope of the present article. A better understanding of a disease course will help differentiate the signs of an intense inflammatory response from the early onset of sepsis and minimize the inappropriate use of medications. This, in turn, will promote organtargeted therapy and prevent occurrence and progression of MODS.
