Introduction: Necrotizing fasciitis is a type of skin and soft tissue infection that usually spreads both on the surface and in the depths of the tissues. It also has silent and non-specific manifestations that generate a fatal compromise. Therefore, the need to find a tool that allows early diagnosis using easily accessible components at any hospital level, as represented by the LRINEC score, arises. Objective: To determine whether the LRINEC scale is effective for the diagnosis of necrotizing fasciitis in patients of hospital III EsSalud de Iquitos 2017-2023. Methods: The data was collected from the review of medical records of patients with skin and soft tissue infection (cellulitis) at Hospital III EsSalud - Iquitos using convenience sampling. Subsequently, the LRINEC score was applied to evaluate the risk of suffering from Necrotizing fasciitis and thus evaluate the scale's predictive capacity. Therefore, statistical analysis was performed by calculating the Chi-square, Odds Ratio, and ROC Curve. Results: According to the ROC curve, the LRINEC scale has a good predictive capacity in this study since it had a sensitivity of 87.5% and a specificity of 85.11%. The cut-off point obtained through the analysis was 5.5, rounded is equivalent to 6 points. Regarding age, it was greater than 50 years with 39.8%. On the other hand, the male sex predominated more to have a diagnosis of necrotizing fasciitis without having comorbidities. The ODDS RATIO values estimated from the regression coefficients indicate that the relative risk of a patient with comorbidities is 2.138 times more likely to have necrotizing fasciitis than a patient without comorbidities, and the relative risk of a patient with older age is 1.018 times more likely to have necrotizing fasciitis than a patient with younger age. Conclusions: From 2017 to 2023, the LRINEC score had a good predictive capacity for diagnosing necrotizing fasciitis in Hospital III EsSalud - Iquitos patients
