qSOFA Score Calculator

Quickly assess a patient's risk for sepsis with the quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA) score.

Sepsis is a medical emergency that requires rapid recognition and treatment. The qSOFA (quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment) score is a simplified screening tool developed to help clinicians outside the ICU quickly identify patients at high risk of poor outcomes due to infection. While it is not a diagnostic tool for sepsis itself, a score of 2 or more indicates a significantly higher risk of mortality or extended ICU stay.

qSOFA uses RR ≥ 22, SBP ≤ 100, altered mentation.

Como funciona

The tool checks the patient's vitals and mental status against three specific thresholds. For every threshold met (RR ≥ 22, SBP ≤ 100, or GCS < 15), one point is added to the score.

Fórmula de cálculo

1 point for each: RR ≥ 22, SBP ≤ 100, GCS < 15

Exemplos de cálculo

1. **High Risk**: RR 24 and SBP 90 = **Score 2**.
