Miyamoto K, et al. - Researchers here determined the predictive ability of quick sequential organ failure assessment (qSOFA) score for in-hospital mortality among patients transported by physician-staffed helicopters. They observed an association of an increase in the qSOFA score with a gradual increase in the in-hospital mortality rate among all patients. In particular, they noticed a very low mortality rate among patients with a qSOFA score of 0. Observations thereby suggested that the qSOFA score had a good predictive ability for the in-hospital mortality of patients with trauma.
