Heart rate variability as a marker of multiple organ dysfunction syndromes: a systematic review
Authors' conclusion
The results of our review show that HRV indices are influenced by the severity of MODS and might serve as a tool for predicting mortality in patients with MODS.

As reported in the abstract
HRV in MODS and mortality
- All studies showed low heart rate variability (HRV) in patients with MODS and in non-survivors
- 9 studies assessed MODS, 6 assessed mortality
