The predictive performance of NEWS, MEWS, SOFA and SAPS II in outcomes of bacteremic and non-bacteremic sepsis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study evaluates the prognostic accuracy of sepsis scores and inflammatory biomarkers in predicting mortality, bacteremia, and septic shock among sepsis patients, with comparisons across bacteremic and non-bacteremic groups.

Methods

This prospective observational study was conducted in a tertiary care center in western India. A total of 196 sepsis patients were enrolled and categorized into bacteremic (n = 95) and non-bacteremic (n = 101) groups. Key sepsis scores analyzed included Sequential Organ Failure Assessment Score (SOFA), Modified Early Warning Score (MEWS), National Early Warning Score (NEWS), and Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS II). Outcomes measured included 30-day mortality, bacteraemia prediction, and septic shock. Diagnostic performance
