Abstract
The LRINEC score is a clinical adjunct to risk stratify patients presenting to the emergency department with soft tissue infections. It utilizes common blood tests commonly to calculate a score, which risk stratifies patients. The use of this scoring system can facilitate better allocation of resources and aids in the decision to transfer patients in rural or regional settings, which are often complicated by being a resource limited environment.
