The Role of the Quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment Score (qSOFA) in the Pre-Hospitalization Prediction of Covid19 Prognosis

Objective: Researchers have been investigating numerous biomarkers and scoring systems to predict the prognosis of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We aimed determine effectiveness quick sequential organ failure assessment (qSOFA) system in pre-hospital emergency health care for predicting COVID-19 terms intensive unit (ICU) admission mortality. Materials Methods: enrolled 9850 patients suspected who were transferred by 112 medical services (EMS) between April 1, 2020 July 2020. Demographic clinical data obtained from Ankara Emergency Health Services Automation System. The qSOFA score was calculated based on ambulance records. Results: 28-day mortality rate 6.2% (n=13) cut-off >1 [area under curve (AUC)=0.955, sensitivity 84.62%, specificity 90.4%, p 1 (AUC=0.942;sensitivity 97.37%;specificity 84.97%;p<0.001;95% CI, 0.901-0.969). risk 51.8 times more with a high (p<0.001;95% 10.682-251.340). Moreover, 47.7 likely require ICU 16.735-136.039). Conclusion: Thus, that comprises vital signs can be used admissions COVID-19.
