Methodological concerns about the poisoning Early Warning Score.
Aust Crit Care. 2022; https://doi.org/10.1016/j.aucc.2022.10.002
[2]
There are several versions of clinical early warning prediction models for assessing
the severity of acute illness or Early Warning Score (EWS). These scores are based
on patients' vital signs and are capable of identifying the probability of a deterioration
of the patient's condition, thus improving care and monitoring of the potentially
critically ill patient.
[3]
However, these scores are heterogeneous and hence contradictory conclusions may be
reached as to their effectiveness in discriminating or predicting patients at risk
of clinical deterioration.
