A Study To Compare Combination Of Modified Early Warning Score (Mews) And Lactate With Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (Sofa) Score And Acute Physiology And Chronic Health Evaluation (Apache) Ii Score In Predicting Severity In Sepsis Patients

Abstract

The hallmark of sepsis, a complicated clinical condition that can lead to potentially fatal organ failure, is a dysregulated host response to infection. ¹ When the body's reaction to an infection damages its own tissues and organs, sepsis results. If left untreated, sepsis can result in septic shock and multi-organ failure. Globally, sepsis remains a major public health challenge, accounting for significant morbidity and mortality, and is currently recognized as one of the leading causes of death worldwide, ranking as the tenth most common cause.² Sepsis is more common in low- and middle-income nations because of a lack of funding and delayed access to medical care. Studies have demonstrated that delays in diagnosis and treatment greatly raise the risk of death for individuals with sepsis, making early detection and prompt intervention essential.
