The Quick SOFA score helps clinicians identify patients with suspected infection who are at high risk for poor outcomes.
Total qSOFA Score:
0 / 3
A score of 2 or greater indicates a high risk of poor clinical outcomes and suggests the need for further assessment for sepsis.
The score is determined by assigning one point for each abnormal clinical finding observed during assessment.
Formula: qSOFA = (RR ≥ 22) + (GCS < 15) + (SBP ≤ 100)
A patient presents with a respiratory rate of 24 and a systolic blood pressure of 95 mmHg.
A score ≥ 2 indicates a 3- to 14-fold increase in in-hospital mortality and suggests organ dysfunction.
No, it is a bedside screening tool to identify high-risk patients, not a definitive diagnostic tool for sepsis.
