We read with great interest the article by Papadimitriou-Olivgeris and colleagues
[
[1]
] aiming to evaluate the predictors of mortality among internal medicine patients
with bloodstream infections (BSIs). As main result, qSOFA, compared to SIRS and other
severity scores, showed better performances in predicting mortality with a high negative
predicting value [
