Performance of Criteria for Predicting Sepsis^a

	Sepsis, No. (n = 255)	No Sepsis, No. (n = 226)	Measurement (%)
qSOFA +	114	37	Sensitivity 44.7 Specificity 83.6 PPV 75.5 NPV 57.3
qSOFA −	141	189
SIRS +	204	168	Sensitivity 80.0 Specificity 25.7 PPV 54.8 NPV 53.2
SIRS −	51	58

Abbreviations: NPV, negative predictive value; PPV, positive predictive value; qSOFA quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment; SIRS, Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome.

^aSepsis = SOFA score ≥ 2 with suspected or confirmed infection;

“No Sepsis” = SOFA score < 2 with suspected or confirmed infection.
