Objective: To associate nursing diagnoses (ND) with signs/symptoms and SOFA score in septic patients. Methods: Retrospective cross-sectional study that analyzed 242 medical records. Results: The most prevalent sign was leukocytosis (42%). The average SOFA score was 7 (53.3%). The prevalent NDs with a significant association were: Risk of Infection (IR) (86%); Self-Care Deficit Syndrome (SDA) (68%) and Impaired Spontaneous Ventilation (EPV) (54.1%). SOFA >7 was associated with IR (p=0.002); SDA (p<0.001) and VEP (p<0.001). Regarding signs/symptoms, IR with leukocytosis, confusion, drowsiness and agitation (all p<0.001); DAS with leukocytosis (p=0.002), confusion (p<0.001), drowsiness (p<0.001) and agitation (p<0.001); and VEP with leukocytosis (p=0.016) and agitation (p<0.001). Conclusion: Prevalent EDs had a significant association with predominant signs/symptoms and SOFA >7.
