LOINC description : The Quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA) score combines only the Respiration
(PaO2/FiO2), Cardiovascular (Hypotension), and Glasgow Coma Score aspects of the original
Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score [LOINC: 96790-1], and calculates
each value differently than the original. In the Quick SOFA, each of the following
findings contributes one point to the total score, which ranges from 0 to 3: respiratory
rate 22 breaths per minute, systolic blood pressure 100 mmHg, and altered mental
state. The primary advantage to the QSOFA is the speed of calculation since no laboratory
testing is necessary. [PMID: 28110990];
