Abstract:
In 2016, the International Consensus Conference 'Sepsis-3' highlighted the value of Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) and Quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA) scores in addition to medical and paramedical clinical reasoning to assess severity and the risk of mortality.
