Background: Nutrition in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) encounters a variety of challenges. This study aimed to examine correlation Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNF-α) and high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) with Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score traumatic ICU patients. Patients Methods: Twenty five critically ill patients were recruited for assessment inflammatory factors’ SOFA score. Statistical analyses done using parametric tests. Results: analysis showed strong between TNF-α on day 3 admission scores days 5 7 (r> 0.5). A similarly also was seen hs-CRP (r>0.5). Conclusion: The results serum levels can predict organ dysfunction is better prognostic factor than hs-CRP.
