To determinate if it is the SOFA, the MEDS or the NEWS the scoring system with the greatest discriminative capacity as predictor of in-hospital mortality in sepsis. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A retrospective observational diagnostic test study was performed. The research sample was a paired sample of 162 septic patients according to sepsis – 3 criteria. The clinical histories were selected by simple random sampling. The scoring systems were compared using the value of each of their area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). Also, the optimal cut – off points (optimal decision threshold) and their corresponding sensitivity and specificity values were calculated for each scoring system. RESULTS: The obtained AUROC were 0.81 (IC 95%: 0.74 – 0.88) for NEWS, 0.79 (IC 95%: 0.71 – 0.86) for SOFA and 0.77 (IC 95%: 0.69 – 0.84) for MEDS. All area comparisons obtained a p>0.05. The optimal cut – off points were calculated in ≥10 for NEWS, ≥5 for SOFA and ≥13 for MEDS. The calculated sensitivity and specificity for those points were 76.36% with 71.96% for NEWS, 74.55% with 71.96% for SOFA and 50.91% with 89.72% for MEDS. Two intervening variables had statistical significance: the developing of septic shock, and the use of pathogen directed antibiotic therapy. CONCLUSIONS: There is no statistical difference between the discriminative capacities as predictors of in-hospital mortality in sepsis in the evaluated scoring systems.
