: In 2016, the International Consensus Conference 'Sepsis-3' highlighted the value of Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) and Quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA) scores in addition to medical and paramedical clinical reasoning to assess severity and the risk of mortality. The option of using qSOFA scores in healthcare services underlines the important role of nurses in the early detection of sepsis with a risk of unfavourable outcome, raising hopes of reducing the associated mortality.
