About

The Quick-SOFA score (qSOFA), identifies septic patients with a mortality risk higher than 10%. In our study all adult patients coming to the emergency for suspected infection are screened according to the qSOFA score on arrival. If qSOFA ≥ 2, the patient should be referred to emergency vital room, if the score <2, the patient will be in the box. The objectives are : 1) to evaluate the mortality at 28 days with the orientation, 2) to compare support time of medical contact and initiation of antibiotics according to the orientation in the emergency department.
