Summary

Early identification of a patient with infection who may develop sepsis is of utmost importance. Unfortunately, this remains elusive because no single clinical measure or test can reflect complex pathophysiological changes in patients with sepsis. However, multiple clinical and laboratory parameters indicate impending sepsis and organ dysfunction. Screening tools using these parameters can help identify the condition, such as SIRS, quick SOFA (qSOFA), National Early Warning Score (NEWS), or Modified Early Warning Score (MEWS). The 2016 SCCM/ESICM task force recommended using qSOFA, while the 2021 Surviving Sepsis Campaign strongly recommended against its use compared with SIRS, NEWS, or MEWS as a single screening tool for sepsis or septic shock. We hypothesised that qSOFA has greater prognostic accuracy than SIRS and EWS (NEWS/NEWS2/MEWS).

Conditions

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Measurement of qSOFA score

At the patient's arrival to the ED triage, the nurse will enter the patient's vital signs data into electronic data capture (EDC) system that will calculate the patient's qSOFA score.

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Measurement of SIRS criteria

At the patient's arrival to the ED triage, the nurse will enter the patient's vital signs data into electronic data capture (EDC) system that will calculate the patient's SIRS criteria.

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Measurement of NEWS

At the patient's arrival to the ED triage, the nurse will enter the patient's vital signs data into electronic data capture (EDC) system that will calculate the patient's NEWS.

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Measurement of NEWS2

At the patient's arrival to the ED triage, the nurse will enter the patient's vital signs data into electronic data capture (EDC) system that will calculate the patient's NEWS2.

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Measurement of MEWS

At the patient's arrival to the ED triage, the nurse will enter the patient's vital signs data into electronic data capture (EDC) system that will calculate the patient's MEWS.
