Early warning scores: a health warning.
Early warning scores are frequently used in UK adult emergency departments (EDs) and are gaining traction in paediatric emergency care. Like many innovations with inherent face validity, they have great appeal to clinicians, managers and commissioners.

متن کاملCan binary early warning scores perform as well as standard early warning scores for discriminating a patient's risk of cardiac arrest, death or unanticipated intensive care unit admission?
INTRODUCTION Although the weightings to be summed in an early warning score (EWS) calculation are small, calculation and other errors occur frequently, potentially impacting on hospital efficiency and patient care. Use of a simpler EWS has the potential to reduce errors. METHODS We truncated 36 published 'standard' EWSs so that, for each component, only two scores were possible: 0 when the st...
متن کاملDaily surveillance with early warning scores help predicthospital mortality in medical wards.
BACKGROUND/AIM To analyze the potency of a modified early warning score (EWS) to help predict hospital mortality when used for surveillance in nonacute medical wards. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients in internal medicine wards were prospectively recruited. First, highest, and last scores; and mean daily score recordings and values were recorded. Nurses calculated scores for each patient upon ad...
متن کاملWeight loss in elderly women in low-level care and its association with transfer to high-level care and mortality
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to determine whether unintentional weight loss in older women predicts an imminent transition out of low-level care (either to higher-level care or by mortality). METHODS Fifty-three Australian women, ambulatory while living in low-level care and requiring minimal assistance, were studied. At baseline, when the women were aged (mean ± standard deviatio...
