To identify predictors of mortality after implementation of a treatment protocol in the first 3 hours for patients who come to our emergency department with sepsis scored 2 or 3 on the Quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA) scale. ⋯ Full implementation of the protocol within 3 hours of hospital arrival favors survival in patients with sepsis and qSOFA scores of 2 or 3 on arrival. We recommend that emergency departments organize ways to train staff in the use of a sepsis treatment protocol and improve compliance.
