qSOFA Score (Quick Sepsis-Related Organ Failure Assessment)

Calculates qSOFA for rapid identification of patients at risk for sepsis-related organ dysfunction outside the ICU. Components: respiratory rate ≥22/min (1 pt), altered mentation — GCS <15 (1 pt), systolic BP ≤100 mmHg (1 pt). Score ≥2 predicts poor outcomes: sensitivity ~47%, specificity ~91% for organ dysfunction. Used as a screening prompt to assess SOFA.

Clinical Guidance

BMI is a screening measure of body size, not a direct measure of body fat. The standard WHO categories are underweight (<18.5), normal (18.5–24.9), overweight (25–29.9), and obese (≥30).

BMI can overestimate body fat in athletes with high muscle mass and underestimate it in older adults with low muscle mass. Interpret it alongside waist circumference and clinical context rather than as a standalone diagnosis.
