SIRS

Objective. To determine the effect of the tinctorial properties of microorganism on the nutritional status and the early outcome in patients with systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) of bacterial origin. Materials and Methods. A retrospective statistical analysis of case histories of 137 patients with signs and symptoms of SIRS and bacterial infections (caused by a single pathogen) was performed. The following clinical and laboratory parameters of protein-energy undernutrition (PEU) were determined and assessed: body mass index, body weight deficit, total protein, serum albumin, absolute peripheral blood lymphocyte count.

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.
