| Core Tip |
Acute pyelonephritis (APN) is common in urology, but existing studies on early warning scores often mix heterogeneous sepsis cohorts or emphasize stone-related or emphysematous pyelonephritis. Our prospective study is the first to focus exclusively on non-obstructive, non-emphysematous APN, a group frequently overlooked yet clinically challenging. We demonstrate that the National Early Warning Score 2 score reliably identifies patients who require intensive care unit care or urgent intervention, while the quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score more accurately predicts mortality. Used together, they provide a complementary dual-score framework for bedside triage and prognostication. This simple approach offers urologists and nephrologists a practical, objective tool to enhance decision-making and improve patient outcomes. |
