Brief Summary
The Emergence of Modified Shock Index (MSI) To further enhance the assessment of hemodynamic stability, the modified shock index (MSI) was developed. The MSI is defined as the ratio of heart rate to mean arterial pressure (MAP) This index takes into account the effect of diastolic blood pressure by replacing SBP with MAP in the calculation . The modified shock index has proven to be a superior predictor of mortality compared to traditional SI . It outperforms heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and SI as individual predictors

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Modified Shock Index in patients with sepsis presenting to the Emergency Department
To assess the Modified Shock Index (MSI), calculated as the ratio of heart rate (beats per minute) to mean arterial pressure (mmHg), in adult patients presenting with sepsis to the Emergency Department, and evaluate its prognostic value.
At baseline (upon presentation to the Emergency Department)
Secondary Outcomes (1)
1. Association between Modified Shock Index and ICU admission 2. Association between Modified Shock Index and vasopressor requirement 3-Association between MSI and need for mechanical ventilation 4_Association between MSI and length of hospital stay
1_Within 24 hours of Emergency Department presentation. 2_During the first 24 hours of hospital admission. 3_During the first 24 hours of hospital admission. 4_From hospital admission until hospital discharge.
Study Arms (1)
assess the ability of Modified Shock Index (MSI) at Emergency Department presentation to predict in-
evaluate the association between MSI and: * Intensive care unit (ICU) admission * Need for vasopressor support * Need for mechanical ventilation * Length of hospital stay
Interventions
Smear from sputum or urine to identify the site of infection
Identify the infection by sepsis markers
