Importance of qSOFA Score in Terms of Prognosis and Mortality in Critical Care Patients.
Article in Yonago acta medica, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Recent studies have analyzed the qSOFA (quick sequential organ failure assessment) score as a prognostic indicator in many diseases, particularly sepsis. However, the effect of qSOFA score on prognosis and mortality in critical care patients has not been sufficiently analyzed. There is not enough data, especially regarding its use as critical care mortality and prognosis scoring. In this study, we aimed to analyze the effect of qSOFA score on mortality and prognosis in critical care unit (CCU) patients. Methods: This study was conducted retrospectively using the chart review method. The APACHE II (Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II) and SOFA (Sequential Organ Failure Assessment) scores of patients admitted to our CCU were compared with the qSOFA score. In addition, the need for intubation and mechanical ventilation, short- and long term mortality rates, the relationship between blood gas lactate values and qSOFA score were analyzed. Results: A total of 1816 patients were included in the study. During critical care follow-up, 374 (20.6%) of our patients died, and at the end of 6 months, 796 (43.8%) of our patients died. A statistically significant association was found between in-hospital mortality and qSOFA, SOFA scores and lactate levels ( Conclusion: We believe that the qSOFA score can be used as a marker for in-hospital mortality and prognosis in critical care patients. Especially in cases where the qSOFA score is ≥ 2, it provides valuable information regarding mortality and prognosis.
