Table 3 EDLIPS score calculation worksheet

From: Lung injury prediction score for the emergency department: first step towards prevention in patients at risk

Using Table 2 examples

i.

Patient with history of cirrhosis with septic shock from pneumonia requiring FIO2 > 0.35 in the emergency room:

 

Sepsis + shock + pneumonia + cirrhosis + FIO2 > 0.35

 

1 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 7

ii.

Motor vehicle accident with traumatic brain injury, lung contusion, and shock requiring FiO2 > 0.35

 

Brain injury + lung contusion + shock + FiO2 > 0.35

 

2 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 7

iii.

Patient with history of diabetes mellitus presents with urosepsis, acidosis and shock

 

Sepsis + shock + acidosis + diabetes

 

1 + 2 + 2–0.5 = 4.5

  1. In this cohort the lowest and highest EDLIPS scores achieved were −0.5, 15.
