Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the NEWS score, compared with the qSOFA and SIRS scores in predicting sepsis-related outcomes in the emergency triage area. Method: Prospective descriptive study. Results: NEWS, qSOFA and SIRS scores were higher in patients requiring vasopressors, mechanical ventilation and ICU admission (p<0.05); The NEWS score was better than the qSOFA and SIRS scores in predicting patients requiring vasopressors (AUC = 0.854), patients requiring mechanical ventilation (AUC = 0.862); patients admitted to the ICU (AUC = 0.864) and mortality (AUC = 0.821). Conclusion: The NEWS score was better than the qSOFA and SIRS scores in predicting patients requiring vasopressors, mechanical ventilation, patients admitted to the ICU and mortality.
