Abstract
Objective To compared the Sepsis 1.0 criterial with the Sepsis 3.0 criteria predict the efficacy of all-caused mortality of in-hospital in critically ill patients with severe infection. Design This is a retrospective and cohort study based on the database of severe infection. Setting A 48-bed general intensive care unit in affiliated hospital of University. Patients Critically ill patients with suspected infection based on the electronic health records from 1 January to 31 December, 2015. Interventions None. Measurements The variables of exposures included: quick sequential organ failure assessment (qSOFA), systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) score and sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA). Main outcomes and measures: for predictive validity, we found that the discrimination for hospital mortality was more common with sepsis than with uncomplicated infections. Results are reported as the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC).Main Results In the primary cohort, 873 patients had suspected infection cohort (n=634), of whom 188 (29.7%) died; and with the non-infection cohort (n=239), 26 patients died (10.9%). Among intensive care unit (ICU) cases in the infection cohort, the predictive validity for hospital mortality was higher for Sepsis 3.0 (SOFA) criteria (AUROC=0.702; 95%CI, 0.665 −0.737; p≤0.01 for both) than for Sepsis 1.0 (SIRS) criteria (AUROC=0.533; 95% confidence interval [95%CI], 0.493−0.572). Conclusions In our study, we found the Sepsis 3.0 criteria is able to accurately predict the prognosis in critically ill patients with severe infection, and its predictive efficacy is superior to Sepsis 1.0 criteria.
