Key result
A qSOFA score ≥ 2 at admission was independently associated with an increased risk of 30-day mortality (HR 2.76; 95% CI 1.32-5.74; p=0.007) in patients with acute coronary syndrome.
Why the study?
Triage of patients with acute coronary syndrome at high risk of in-hospital complications is essential.
Does a qSOFA score ≥ 2 at admission predict 30-day mortality and MACEs in patients with acute coronary syndrome admitted to the cardiovascular intensive care unit?

A qSOFA score ≥ 2 at admission is an independent predictor of 30-day mortality and MACEs in patients with acute coronary syndrome admitted to the cardiovascular intensive care unit.

qSOFA ≥2 may aid risk stratification in ACS CICU patients; leaves open prospective validation and incremental value.
Bouchlarhem et al. (2023) conducted an observational in Acute coronary syndrome (n=964). qSOFA score ≥ 2 at admission vs. qSOFA score < 2 was evaluated on 30-day mortality (HR 2.76, 95% CI 1.32-5.74, p=0.007). A qSOFA score ≥ 2 at admission was independently associated with an increased risk of 30-day mortality (HR 2.76; 95% CI 1.32-5.74; p=0.007) in patients with acute coronary syndrome.
