Brief Summary

Objective: We aimed to compare the mNEWS, qSOFA score, mSIRS score, and mSOS score in predicting mortality and sepsis. Methods: All patients were monitored for up to 30 days after the initial visit. Results: There were 260 patients included in the study. The 30-day mortality prediction with mNEWS 5 or more had the highest sensitivity (91.18%). Conclusion: mNEWS was an acceptable scoring system screening tool for predicting mortality and sepsis in patients with a suspected infection.
