The qSOFA score (also known as quickSOFA) is a bedside prompt that may identify patients with suspected infection who are at greater risk for a poor outcome outside the intensive care unit (ICU). It uses three criteria, assigning one point for low blood pressure (SBP≤100 mmHg), high respiratory rate (≥22 breaths per min), or altered ...

Nov 27, 2019 · SOFA was based on six different scores, one for each of the respiratory, cardiovascular, hepatic, coagulation, renal and neurological systems each scored from 0 to 4 with an increasing score reflecting worsening organ dysfunction [ 5, 6 ].
We calculated qSOFA for each patient. The score ranges from 0 to three with one point allocated for each of the following clinical signs: systolic blood pressure <100 mmHg respiratory rate > 22/minutes and altered mental status from baseline. A score of equal or more than two indicates more severity with increased ICU length of stay and mortality.
