Introduction: Different scales of diagnostic prediction are being recommended and applied in different emergency departments to predict certain health outcomes, which can support and / or improve the management of serious patients. Among the most used are the qSOFA (quickly- Sepsis-related Organ Failure Assessment), a scale validated by the sepsis-3 consensus; and the English scale NEWS (National Early Warning Score). However, in our environment, its use and performance have not been evaluated in an emergency service. Objective: To assess the diagnostic performance of the qSOFA, NEWS and APACHE-II scales in the emergency department at the Edgardo Rebagliati Martins Hospital (HNERM). Methods: Retrospective cohort study conducted in a high complexity hospital. The study population included admissions to the emergency department in patients with suspected sepsis. Also, using three scales: qSOFA, NEWS and APACHE II, the accuracy of the prediction was calculated by comparing them. Results: 112 patients were included, of whom 16 died (14.29%). To predict mortality within the hospital, areas under the curves (AUC) were found for the different scales. APACHE II ≥17 had a sensitivity of 87.5% and a specificity of 78.13% (95% CI: 0.84-0.96) with an AUC of 0.9, qSOFA ≥2 with a sensitivity of 81.25% and specificity of 68.75% (95% CI: 0.63 - 0.87) with an AUC of 0.75 and NEWs ≥7 with a sensitivity of 62.5% and specificity of 78.13% (95% CI: 0.56 - 0.86) with an AUC of 0.71. Conclusions: The qSOFA, NEWS and APACHE II score scales are suitable for the diagnostic prediction of mortality in patients diagnosed with sepsis and their use in the different hospitals in Peru is pertinent.
