Formula

Core Formula

qSOFA: 1 point for (RR >= 22, Altered GCS, SBP <= 100)

How it works: qSOFA is used outside the ICU for rapid screening; SOFA is a more detailed assessment for organ dysfunction within the ICU.

Worked Example

RR 24, SBP 90, GCS 13 -> qSOFA 3 (High risk of poor outcome).

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of qSOFA?

To quickly identify patients outside the ICU who are at high risk of death from sepsis.

What does a score of 2 mean?

It suggests a poor outcome is more likely, and the clinician should investigate for organ dysfunction and consider higher levels of care.

Is it used to diagnose sepsis?

No. It is a prognostic tool used to identify high-risk patients, not a definitive diagnostic test for sepsis itself.
