Fifty-two percent (n = 15/29) of first-trimester students, 56% (n = 20/36) of second-trimester students, and 71% (n = 30/42) of third-trimester students saw a SOFA score ≥ 2 as a diagnostic criterion for sepsis, followed by 17% (n = 7/42) of 3rd, 31% (n = 11/36) of 2nd, and 28% (n = 8/29) of 1st-trimester students somewhat agreeing. The group most likely to disagree were the 1st-trimester students (21%, n = 6/29). Overall, 11% (n = 12/107) of all participants chose the option “I do not know.” Total n = 107/113; missing responses in 6 participants.
