Abstract

The 2019 SCAI shock staging system is a valid risk stratification tool in hemodynamically unstable patients. Shock stage is a strong predictor of short-term mortality and its daily re-assessment may guide the escalation or de-escalation of therapy. Additional large-scale validation studies are needed to confirm the new SCAI shock staging system's validity in clinical practice and research.
