Retrospective study on the possible existence of a treatment paradox in sepsis scores in the emergency department
OBJECTIVE: The quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA) is developed as a tool to identify patients with infection with increased risk of dying from sepsis in non-intensive care unit settings, like the emergency department (ED). An abnormal score may trigger the initiation of appropriate therapy to reduce that risk. This study assesses the risk of a treatment paradox: the effect of a strong predictor for mortality will be reduced if that predictor also acts as a trigger for initiating treatment to prevent mortality. DESIGN: Retrospective analysis on data from a large observational coh... Mehr ...
