Abstract

Fournier's gangrene is a rare but life-threatening infection disease with high mortality rate. The quick Sepsis-related Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA) is a new and simpler scoring system that may identify patients with suspected infection who are at greater risk for a poor outcome. The purpose of this study was to find out role of qSOFA in determining prognosis of Fournier's gangrene patients.
