Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the prognosis of patients with sepsis in the emergency department using the modified CURB-65 score.Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 143 patients with sepsis who were first diagnosed at the emergency department of the First Hospital of China Medical University (between January 2014 and January 2015),assessed their CURB-65 and sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) scores,and modified the CURB-65 scoring system by adding some indexes of the prognosis of sepsis.We analyzed the prognostic value of each scoring systems in the diagnosis of sepsis using the receiver-operating characteristic curve.Results The modified CURB-65,CURB-65,and SOFA scores had independent abilities for early prediction of the prognosis of sepsis.The area under the curve and the Youden index of the modified CURB-65 score were highest,which are superior to the traditional CURB-65 and SOFA scores.Conclusion The modified CURB-65 score can predict the prognosis of sepsis in its early stage.In addition,the assessment method is simple and convenient;hence,it is useful for assessing the condition of patients with sepsis and providing an early treatment.
