Summary:To improve sepsis outcome the Society of Critical Care Medicine and the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine in 2014 suggested using the quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA) as a sepsis scores in emergency room (ER) setting because it was found to have a higher mortality predicative validity than the traditional systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). A retrospective study (June 2014 to June 2016) was conducted comparing management outcomes of all patients with suspected infection admitted to Northside medical center ER, patient sepsis score was calculated using qSOFA, SIRS and qSOFA plus lactic acid.
