Quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment and Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome Criteria as Predictors of Critical Care Intervention Among Patients With Suspected Infection.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The Sepsis III clinical criteria for the diagnosis of sepsis rely on scores derived to predict inhospital mortality. In this study, we introduce the novel outcome of "received critical care intervention" and investigate the related predictive performance of both the quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment and the Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome criteria.

Design

This was a single-center, retrospective analysis of electronic health records.

Setting

Tertiary care hospital in the United States.

Patients

Patients with suspected infection who presented to the emergency department and were admitted to the hospital between January 2010 and December 2014.

Interventions

Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome and quick Sequential Organ Failure
