Objective — to define the informative value of qSOFA score in the prediction of outcomes in surgical patients admitted to the Intensive Care Units. Material and methods. Study design: post hoc analysis of multicenter prospective observational study RISES. The following patient information was analyzed: gender, age, diagnosis, presence of infection, SIRS criteria, qSOFA and SOFA scores, outcomes. Results. The study included data of 331 patients with surgical diseases. Infection was not observed in 174 (52.6%) cases, 157 (47.4%) patients had infection. In the group of patients without infection, area under ROC-curve for SIRS criteria was 0.519 (95% CI 0.429—0.610) and similar to that qSOFA (p=0.535). Area under ROC-curve for SOFA scale was 0.619 (95% CI 0.511—0.726) and did not significantly differ from this value for QSOFA (p=0.241). In the group of surgical patients with infection, area under ROC-curve for SIRS was 0.490 (95% CI 0.419—0.561), that was significantly lower than area under ROC-curve for qSOFA (p=0.016). Area under ROC-curve for SOFA scale was 0.803 (95% CI 0.681—0.924), that significantly exceeded area under ROC-curve for qSOFA (p=0.017). Conclusion. qSOFA scale is important in surgical patients with infection admitted to ICUs. Increased qSOFA score is associated with augmentation of mortality rate. qSOFA scale significantly exceeds the SIRS criteria, but is inferior to the SOFA in the prognosis of mortality in these patients.
