Validation of qsofa as a screening score for sepsis

Sepsis is a global public health challenge. The q-SOFA was proposed at the 3rd Sepsis Consensus to identify infected patients with an unfavorable prognosis. This single-center retrospective cohort study included 51 hospitalized patients from January 01, 2014 to June 31, 2018 at the CHN. We collected and analyzed demographic, clinical, therapeutic and outcome data. Qualitative variables were described as frequencies and proportions, and quantitative variables as means and standard deviations. The AUC was calculated to determine the discriminating power of SIRS and q-sofa at the 95% confidence interval.Sepsis is a real problem in our environment. The q-sofa can be used to identify infections with a poor prognosis (sepsis).
