- Researchers developed and validated a clinical risk index score called NECROSIS to help identify necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTIs) in emergency patients with severe skin issues.
- *The study involved analyzing data from 362 adult patients across 16 sites in the US, finding that 82% were diagnosed with NSTIs, with key predictors including low blood pressure, specific skin color changes, and elevated white blood cell counts.
- *The NECROSIS score showed good predictive validity, suggesting it could be a valuable tool for clinicians, though further validation studies are needed.*
