The SET (Sepsis Early Triage) Score is a validated point-of-care sepsis risk stratification tool developed to identify emergency department (ED) patients with suspected infection who are at high risk for in-hospital mortality. It uses variables that are rapidly available in triage: vital signs, age, and a single laboratory value (lactate). SET Score was derived and validated in a large multicenter emergency setting as a simplified bedside alternative to SOFA/qSOFA that incorporates lactate as a key discriminator of tissue hypoperfusion.
