Objective. To compare the Quick Sequential (Sepsis-Related Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA), National Early Warning Score (NEWS) and Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS) scores value in predicting poor outcomes in emergency department patients with/without infection in Russia. Materials and Methods. This prospective observational study included data from 270 patients, of whom 132 (48.8%) patients had an infection and 138 (51.2%) did not have an infection. Comparison of areas under the ROC-curves (Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve) for the qSOFA, NEWS and SIRS scores in predicting the composite outcome (death and/or length of intensive care unit stay >1 day) was performed.

Relationship between presepsin values and shortterm status of patients with infections, as well as a correlation of presepsin levels and other markers of systemic inflammatory response were analyzed in this prospective observational study. The study …

Objective. To determine characteristics of community-acquired Legionella pneumonia depending on severity of the disease, identify adverse reactions of long-term antimicrobial regimens, and calculate equation of prognosis of Legionella pneumonia severity upon hospital admission. Materials and Methods. A total of 61 patients with Legionella pneumonia were included and divided into 3 groups depending on the disease severity: Group 1 – 15 patients with non-severe pneumonia without systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), Group 2 – 32 patients with severe pneumonia and SIRS, Group 3 – 14 patients with very severe pneumonia.
