LqSOFA demonstrated superior predictive accuracy for in-hospital mortality compared to qSOFA and lactate alone.
With an area under the curve of 0.831, LqSOFA outperformed qSOFA (0.793) and lactate (0.727).
Integration of lactate into qSOFA enhances sensitivity and specificity for mortality and SICU length of stay.
Further multicentric studies are needed to validate LqSOFA across diverse clinical settings.
