Background
- The quick Sequential (Sepsis Related) Organ Failure Assessment Score (qSOFA) is used at the bedside to help identify and risk stratify patients with sepsis[1]
- A score ≥2 indicates high risk of poor outcome and the need for further evaluation
- The more complex SOFA score was similar as SIRS when used in the ED [(AUROC = 0.79; 95% CI, 0.78-0.80) vs. (AUROC = 0.76; 95% CI, 0.75-0.77)].
- qSOFA has not yet been externally validated
qSOFA Score
Quick Sequential (Sepsis Related) Organ Failure Assessment Score
- Respiratory rate of 22/min or greater (+1 Point)
- Altered mentation (+1 Point)
- Systolic blood pressure of 100 mm Hg or less (+1 Point)
