PIRO, SOFA and MEDS Scores in Predicting One-Month Mortality of Sepsis Patients; a Diagnostic Accuracy Study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Different scoring systems based on clinical and laboratory findings are designed for prediction of short-term mortality of patients with severe sepsis and septic shock. This study aimed to compare the screening performance characteristics of PIRO, SOFA and MEDS Scores in predicting one-month mortality of sepsis patients.

Methods

This diagnostic accuracy study was performed on septic shock and severe sepsis patients referring to emergency department of Loghmane Hakim Hospital, Tehran, Iran, from 2017 to 2018. The performance of MEDS, SOFA, and PIRO models in predicting 30-day mortality of patients was evaluated using discrimination and calibration indices.

Results

200 patients with the mean age of 71.03±15.59 years were studied (61% male). During the 30 da
