Overview
Diagnostic criteria
Laboratory risk indicator for necrotizing fasciitis (LRINEC) scoring system
- LRINEC is a diagnostic scoring system used to distinguish necrotizing fasciitis from other soft tissue infections.[1]
- It was first established by Wong et al in 2004.
- Risk assessment of necrotizing faciitis using LRINEC score:
- Low risk: ≤5
- Intermediate risk: 6-7
- High risk: ≥8
