abstract = {It is evident that the patient with sepsis needs immediate attention to allow rapid and effective intervention. Recently, the Sepsis-3 Definitions task force used multivariable logistic regression to develop the qSOFA—a short sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score that incorporates a systolic blood pressure of 100 mmHg or less, a respiratory rate of 22/min or greater and/or an acute alteration in mentation—to be used as a means of identifying infected patients on the general ward who may need urgent attention and further workup for possible sepsis (1,2).},
