The present study aimed to investigate the ability of HEpatic failure, LactatE, NorepInephrine, medical Condition, and Creatinine (HELENICC) score to predict long-term mortality. The association of Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA), SOFA for each organ, and HELENICC scores with 28- and 90-day mortality rates of 94 patients with continuous blood purification (CBP) treatment was investigated. Liver failure, coagulation failure, and circulatory failure were associated with 28-day mortality；coagulation failure and circulatory failure were associated with 90-day mortality. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis found that both scores had a moderate ability to predict mortality, with no significant difference in the areas under the curve. Liver failure, coagulation failure, and circulatory failure had a poor prognosis in patients with CBP; the HELENICC score may be predictive of long-term mortality.
