The SOFA scoring system is useful in predicting the clinical outcomes of critically ill patients.

Instead, the document writer may first convert the file into its own native data structure. Once the file is done being edited, the application will then convert the file back to its original format. In some cases, applications may be able to open (import) files, but not save (export) them in the same format.
