“…This result is consistent with the similar study done in Nepal. 12,13 The mortality was 41.5% in our study whereas in the study done in same setting in Nepal, the mortality rate from sepsis was 36.5% 13 and 22.92% 12 respectively. The initial SOFA score were significantly higher in non survivors when compared to survivors.…”

“…Our study calculated higher sensitvity (96.9%) and specificty ( 57%) of SOFA at the cut of value of 8.50 which slightly differ from the study done by Rajbhandari et al where the sensitivity and specificity was calculated to be 84.8% and 73% respectively at the cut of value of 6.50. 12 In a study done by Garbero et al 16 in emergency department, sensitivity of SOFA was 93.7% for mortality. In our study The AUROC of SOFA is 0.978.…”

There are many clinical scoring systems that measure the severity in sepsis and septic shock. Therefore, our study aims to calculate prognostic accuracy of commonly used scoring system SOFA and qSOFA in emergency department as a predictor of mortality among sepsis patients.This was prospective observational study conducted in an emergency department for a period of seven months. 156 patients were studied and descriptive statistical analysis was done. The most common source of infection was respiratory. A positive and moderate correlation was seen between initial SOFA score and qSOFA score. The AUC of SOFA score and qSOFA for predicting the mortality were 0.978 and 0.886 with sensitivity of 96.9% and specificty of 57% for SOFA and sensitivity of 96.9% and specificity of 76.1% for qSOFA.SOFA and qSOFA both proved to be similar as a simple prognostic tool with discriminatory capacity in predicting prognosis in septic patient presenting to emergency department.
