Figure 2:

Comparison of the predicted probability of a diagnosis of sepsis according to 14 numeric scores for patients with infection diagnosed in the emergency department. Note: The x axis was scaled from minimum to maximum for each score to allow for comparison of scores with a different number of points. Broken lines indicate scores with more than 5 possible points. The dot on each line represents the recommended threshold score for a diagnosis of sepsis (if available). BAS = Blood Pressure Andningsfrekvens (“respiratory rate” in Swedish) Saturation, Borrelli = Borrelli et al.,²⁹ CIP = Critical Illness Prediction score, HEWS = Hamilton Early Warning Score, MEWS = Modified Early Warning Score, NEWS = National Early Warning Score, PreSAT = Prehospital Sepsis Assessment Tool, PRESEP = Prehospital Early Sepsis Detection, PRESS = Prehospital Severe Sepsis, PSP = Prehospital Sepsis Project, qSOFA = Quick Sepsis-Related Organ Failure Assessment, Robson = Robson score (originally validated by Wallgren et al.⁵³), SEPSIS = Screening to Enhance Prehospital Identification of Sepsis, SIRS = Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome.
