To determine the predictive value of qSOFA (quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment) in Malawian patients with suspected infection.
Prospective observational study in a tertiary referral hospital in Malawi.
Predictive ability of qSOFA was reasonable [AUROC 0.73 (95% CI 0.68-0.78)], increasing to 0.77 (95% CI 0.72-0.82) when classifying all patients with altered mental status as high risk. Adding HIV status as a variable to the qSOFA score did not improve predictive value.
qSOFA is a simple tool that can aid risk stratification in resource-limited settings.
确定快速序贯器官衰竭评估（qSOFA）在马拉维疑似感染患者中的预测价值。
在马拉维的一家三级转诊医院进行前瞻性观察性研究。
qSOFA 的预测能力合理[AUROC 0.73（95%CI 0.68-0.78）]，当将所有精神状态改变的患者均归类为高危时，预测能力提高至 0.77（95%CI 0.72-0.82）。将 HIV 状态作为变量添加到 qSOFA 评分中并不会提高预测价值。
qSOFA 是一种简单的工具，可以帮助资源有限的环境进行风险分层。
