الأسئلة الشائعة
What is qSOFA?
The quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA) is a bedside tool to identify adult patients with suspected infection who are likely to have poor outcomes. A score ≥2 suggests considering full SOFA assessment and possible sepsis management.
How is qSOFA interpreted?
Score 0–1: Lower risk of poor outcomes. Score ≥2: High risk — consider full SOFA, blood cultures, and sepsis management protocol. qSOFA is a screening tool, not a definitive diagnosis.
