Prehospital prediction of clinical course in patients with suspected sepsis: a prospective cohort study

The authors aimed to determine how prehospital variables observed by ambulance personnel can predict the clinical course of patients with suspected sepsis. Their study found that while certain factors like oxygen saturation and qSOFA scores were associated with sepsis severity and outcomes, no single variable predicted all outcomes consistently. The findings suggest that while prehospital scoring systems may aid in decision-making, they should be used cautiously alongside established clinical tools.
