A Real-Time Prospective Evaluation of the Prognostic Accuracy of SIRS, MEWS, NEWS2 and qSOFA in Predicting ICU Admission and Mortality in an Emergency Department: Implications for Nursing Practice. [PDF]

Nurs Crit Care
ABSTRACT Background Early identification of emergency department (ED) patients with suspected infection who are at risk for adverse outcomes is a core nursing responsibility during triage and early observation. Scoring systems vary in sensitivity and specificity, with limited prospective, real‐time comparisons in Greek EDs.

SIRS, qSOFA and new sepsis definition [PDF]

Journal of Thoracic Disease, 2017
A 2016 task force convened by national societies including the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) and the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM) proposed a new definition of sepsis, termed Sepsis-3 (1). The new proposal defines sepsis as life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection (1-3).
