The S-S.M.A.R.T: A New Prognostic Tool for Patients with Suspected Sepsis in the Emergency Department

Figure 2

Comparison of receiver operating characteristics curve for prediction of prognosis in patients with sepsis between S-S.M.A.R.T and qSOFA. The S-S.M.A.R.T demonstrated superior performance compared to qSOFA (AUC of 0.789 vs. 0.699; for 7-day mortality (a), AUC of 0.786 vs. 0.681; for 30-day mortality (b), and AUC 0.758 vs 0.717; for ICU admission (c)). Abbreviations: S-S.M.A.R.T (sepsis evaluation with shock index, mental status, age, and ROX index on triage), qSOFA (quick sequential organ failure assessment), AUC (area under the curve), and ICU (intensive care unit).
