| ICU admission | ICU stay ≥ 3 days | Mortality at 48 h | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Prehospital setting (%;IQR) | |||
| qSOFA score ≥ 2 | 36.3 (26.6–47.2) | 17.4 (9.1–30.7) | 68.0 (48.4–82.8) |
| SIRS criteria | 68.8 (57.9–77.9) | 74.6 (62.2–84) | 64.0 (44.5–79.8) |
| Sepsis definition | 50 (39.3–60.7) | 54.2 (41.7–66.3) | 52.0 (33.5–70) |
| ED’s triage (%;IQR) | |||
| qSOFA score ≥ 2 | 31.2 (22.2–42.1) | 30.5 (20.3–43.2) | 60.0 (40.7–76.6) |
| SIRS criteria | 58.8 (47.8–68.9) | 57.6 (44.9–69.4) | 80.0 (60.9–91.1) |
| Sepsis definition | 42.5 (32.3–53.4) | 42.4 (30.6–55.1%) | 60.0 (40.7–76.6) |
Data are presented as percentages and interquartile range (IQR)
qSOFA score: ≥2 items: RR ≥22/min; SBP ≤100 mmHg; GCS <15 or decline from baseline. SIRS criteria: ≥2 items: RR >20/min, HR >90/min, temperature ≥ 38.3 °C or <36 °C. Sepsis definition: SIRS criteria plus one of the following item: SBP <90 mmHG, GCS <15 or decline from baseline, oxygen saturation < 90%
