Study objective The Quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA) score (composed
of respiratory rate≥ 22 breaths/min, systolic blood pressure≤ 100 mm Hg, and altered
mental status) may identify patients with infection who are at risk of complications. We
determined the association between qSOFA scores and outcomes in adult emergency
department (ED) patients with and without suspected infection. Methods We performed a
single-site, retrospective review of adult ED patients between January 2014 and March�…
