The Value of Quick Sepsis-Related Organ Failure Assessment Scores in Patients With Acute Pancreatitis Who Present to Emergency Departments: A Three-Year Cohort Study

Figures

Figure 1.
Figure 1. The receiver operating curve demonstrates the sensitivity and specificity of quick sepsis-related organ failure assessment (qSOFA) scoring in detecting significant acute pancreatitis. The underlying mechanism of pancreatitis is mechanical or non-mechanical, and both are individually and collectively analyzed.
Figure 2.
Figure 2. The receiver operating curve demonstrates the sensitivity and specificity of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) scoring in detecting significant acute pancreatitis. The underlying mechanism of pancreatitis is mechanical or non-mechanical, and both are individually and collectively analyzed.
