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.
