Using Statistical and Machine Learning Methods to Evaluate the Prognostic Accuracy of SIRS and qSOFA.

Conclusions: The evidences suggest that qSOFA is a better diagnostic criteria than SIRS. The low sensitivity of qSOFA can be improved by carefully selecting the threshold to translate the predicted probabilities into labels. These findings can guide healthcare providers in selecting risk-stratification measures for patients presenting to an ED with sepsis. PMID: 29770247 [PubMed]
