This figure depicts the distribution of qSOFA scores during clinic (left column) versus ED/hospital presentation (right column). Of 118 patients evaluated in clinic prior to sepsis hospitalization, 42 (35.6%) had an increase in qSOFA, 64 (54.2%) had no change, and 12 (10.2%) had an improvement in qSOFA (1a). Of the 74 patients instructed to present to the ED/hospital from clinic, 18 (24.3%) had an increase in qSOFA, 46 (62.2%) had no change, and 10 (13.5%) had an improvement in qSOFA (1b). Of the 44 patients who were not instructed to present to the ED/hospital, 24 (54.5%) had an increase in qSOFA, 18 (40.9%) had no change in qSOFA, and 2 (4.5%) had an improvement in qSOFA (1c).
