Several widely used scoring systems for septic patients have been validated in an ICU
setting, and may not be appropriate for other settings like Emergency Departments (ED) or …

Abstract Background The Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) and modified SOFA
(mSOFA) are risk stratification systems which incorporate respiratory, coagulatory, liver …

Background An accurate disease severity score that can quickly predict the prognosis of
patients with sepsis in the emergency department (ED) can aid clinicians in distributing …

Introduction: Sepsis is global health priority and the leading cause of death in critical care.
The SEPSIS 3 criteria introduced in 2016 is the latest tool in diagnosing sepsis. It uses SOFA …

Rationale: Although proposed as a clinical prompt to sepsis based on predictive validity for
mortality, the Quick Sepsis-related Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA) score is often used …

Objective To derive and validate a new scoring system to predict in-hospital mortality in
septic patients in the emergency department (ED). Patients and method Septic patients …

Objectives: Organ failure worsens outcome in sepsis. The Sequential Organ Failure
Assessment (SOFA) score numerically quantifies the number and severity of failed organs …

Introduction The early diagnosis and treatment of sepsis remains a challenge in hospital
emergency departments. Objective The objective was to evaluate the performance of the …

Objectives: Early organ dysfunction in sepsis confers a high risk of in-hospital mortality, but
the relative contribution of specific types of organ failure to overall mortality is unclear. The …

Abstract Background Quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA) is a prognostic
