A multi\u2010institutional retrospective analysis was performed in which patients were divided into two groups according to the presence or absence of severe complications requiring blood purification therapy or encephalopathy. We compared the laboratory values at diagnosis between the severe and mild groups. To identify patients at high risk of developing severe complications, a scoring system, referred to as the \u201cSTEC\u2010HUS severity (STEC\u2010HUSS) score,\u201d was constructed based on the parameters showing significant differences.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Of the 41 patients with STEC\u2010HUS, 11 were classified into the severe group and 30 into the mild group.

The STEC\u2010HUSS score was calculated on a scale of 0\u201310 by summing the number of test items that demonstrated abnormal values. The STEC\u2010HUSS score, when the cut\u2010off value was 4, showed a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 91% in the severe group.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n
