The sensitivity of qSOFA calculated at triage and during emergency department treatment to rapidly identify sepsis patients
Abstract The quick sequential organ failure assessment (qSOFA) score has been proposed as a means to rapidly identify adult patients with suspected infection, in pre-hospital, Emergency Department (ED), or general hospital ward locations, who are in a high-risk category with increased likelihood of...
