๐จ Altered mentation is the most commonly MISSED qSOFA criterion
"That's her baseline" โ Is it? Any CHANGE from baseline counts.
"He's just tired" โ New lethargy = altered mentation.
"She's sundowning" โ Sundowning + infection = qSOFA positive.
"He's 85, of course he's confused" โ Age doesn't explain acute changes.
Rule: Infection + any mental status change = count it. Always.
