Description
The quick SOFA (Sequential Organ Failure Assessment) score is used to estimate mortality in sepsis.
Usage
1
score_qsofa(gcs, respiratory_rate, sbp)
Arguments
gcs
Glasgow Coma Scale.
respiratory_rate
Respiratory rate (/min).
sbp
Systolic blood pressure (mmHg).
Value
qSOFA score (points), or NA if any parameters are NA.
Caveats
Note that the original publications used GCS < 14 as
'altered mental state' but the current
qSOFA website promotes GCS < 15 as
cutoff. Here, GCS < 15 is used as 'altered mental state'. Note that the
actual GCS does not matter for the qSOFA: if you only know if there was a
altered metal state, use gcs = 15 for normal metal state and for
example gcs = 1 for any altered metal state.
