Multiple organ failure (MOF) is a complex condition resulting from severe physiological insults, often seen in surgical and intensive care contexts. Characterized by dysfunction in two or more organ systems, MOF arises after events such as sepsis and trauma. A recent review published in the Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery highlights the mechanisms, clinical presentation, and management strategies for MOF, while emphasizing the importance of early recognition and a multidisciplinary approach. The prognosis varies, with sepsis-related MOF associated with worse outcomes. Future directions involve novel biomarkers and advanced predictive models.
