Prediction of mortality in cardio-neurovascular patients with sepsis and septic shock: is NEWS-2 better than qSOFA, SOFA, and qPitt? An observational study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sepsis is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Early detection and reliable prediction of sepsis-related mortality are crucial. The prognostic value of National Early Warning Score 2 (NEWS-2) in sepsis patients with cardiovascular and neurovascular diseases is not well elucidated.

Objectives

This study aims to evaluate and compare the qSOFA, SOFA, qPitt, and NEWS-2 scores for predicting mortality in sepsis and septic shock patients.

Design

An observational retrospective study was conducted involving patients with sepsis or septic shock.

Methods

Data were collected between 2023 and 2024. Baseline measures included sociodemographic and clinical characteristics. All subjects were identified from a database of a highly complex
