In the early phase, it is related with an uncontrolled hyper-inflammation state, whereas in the late phase (>72h), septic complications play a major role. We review the underlying pathophysiology, the evaluation with different scales and the clinical factors associated with multiorgan failure, as well as potential treatment options. ER -
