Triage Score VS Quick-Sofa Score in Septic Patients in the Emergency Department

Sepsis represents by its frequency, its morbidity and mortality and its cost to society a major public health issue with a constantly increasing incidence. It affects millions of people around the world each year and is the 2nd leading cause of death in intensive care units.

The incidence of sepsis has been estimated by the World Health Organization (WHO), based on US data, at 15 to 19 million cases of sepsis per year worldwide.

About this study

This is a descriptive, mono-center study aimed at comparing a local triage score with that of qsofa in patients presenting to the Sahloul Emergency Department with sepsis.

A local triage score was calculated for each patient consulting the emergency room; this score makes it possible to classify patients according to severity and to predict the time to treatment.

A form is completed prospectively for each patient admitted to the observation unit whose diagnosis of sepsis is confirmed and validated by a senior during the morning staff.

The validated data were included in the ReSSUS register (Sepsis Register of the Sahloul Emergency Department). This is an observational database on the management of sepsis admitted to the emergency department in Sahloul. It ensures a high level of confidentiality and protection of medical data.

Subsequent follow-up of patients was done by telephone contact to verify mortality at one month and one year.
