Head-to-head comparison of pre-hospital qSOFA and lactate-qSOFA for predicting sepsis in patients with and without suspected infection. A multicenter prospective cohort study by Francisco Martín-Rodríguez, Raúl López-Izquierdo, Miguel A. Castro Villamor, Carlos delPozo-Vegas, Irene Sánchez-Soberón, Juan F. Delgado-Benito, Virginia Carbajosa Rodíguez, Rodrigues Leonardo, José Luis Martín-Conty

“…Conclusions An appropriate strategy for reducing the morbidity and mortality from sepsis must necessarily include the prompt identification of this time-dependent pathology by using all the tools at our disposal. The qSOFA and LqSOFA can be used in the prehospital environment and help the diagnosis of suspected sepsis in patients with medical pathology, highlighting the predictive capacity of LqSOFA in the group of patients with suspected infection.…”
