Flow diagram of patient recruitment.
Pre DNR suggests patients who had do-not-resuscitate (DNR) code prior to ED admission. Abbreviations: ED, emergency department; EMS, emergency medical service; ICD-10, International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision; DNR, do-not-resuscitate; qSOFA, quick sequential organ failure assessment.

Demographic data and characteristics of patients.
Fig 2.
Kaplan-Meier curves stratified as prehospital qSOFA-positive or prehospital qSOFA-negative.
A, In-hospital mortality censored at the discharge day. B, 28-day mortality censored 28 days after ED admission. C, 90-day mortality censored 90 days after ED admission. The vertical tick marks on the curves represent censoring due to survival discharge. p value < 0.01 (log-rank test). Abbreviation: qSOFA, quick sequential organ failure assessment; ED, emergency department.
