Abstract

Abstract Background There is a clear need for a better assessment of independent risk factors for in-hospital mortality, ICU admission, and bacteremia in patients presenting with suspected sepsis at the ED. Methods A prospective observational cohort study including 1690 patients was performed. Two multivariable logistic regression models were used to identify independent risk factors. Results SOFA score of ≥2 and serum lactate of ≥2mmol/L were associated with all outcomes. Other independent risk factors were individual SOFA variables and SIRS variables but varied per outcome. MAP<70 mmHg negatively impacted all outcomes. Conclusion These readily available measurements can help with early risk stratification and prediction of prognosis.
