| Conclusion | Palients with obvious clinical indicators of acule deterioration can be overlooked or poorly managed on the ward. This may lead to potentially avoidable unexpected deaths or to a poorer eventual outcome following ICU admission. Early recognition and correction of abnormalities may result in outcome benefit, but this requires further invesligation. | ||||

| Conclusion | There is evidence that simple algorithms based on bedside observations can identify a large proportion of sick patients on general wards. Non-randomised studies have shown mixed results on impact of these interventions on mortality, cardiopulmonary arrests and intensive care admissions. The majority of studies do not specifically address surgical patients. Award-based randomised trial from the UK seems to suggest improved mortality following the introduction of a Critical CareOutreach service with an Early Warning Score. | ||||

| Conclusion | MEWS and APACHE scoring have the same predictive value for the prognosis of SAP patients, but the MEWS scoring system is simple in structure, convenient in data acquisition, time-saving and cost-saving, and can be used to predict the prognosis of SAP patients. | ||||
| 4 | 2012 | Reini, Kirsi Fredrikson, Mats Oscarsson, Anna | The prognostic value of the Modified Early Warning Score in critically ill patients | European Journal of Anaesthesiology | 152-157 |
| Conclusion | This study shows that the Modified Early Warning Score is a useful predictor of mortality in the ICU, 30-day mortality and length of stay in the ICU | ||||
| 5 | 2012 | Smith, Tim Hartog, Dennis Moerman, Tineke | Accuracy of an expanded early warning score for patients in general and trauma surgery wards | ORIGINAL ARTICLE | 192-197 |
| Conclusion | An EWS of 3 or more is an independent predictor of major adverse events in patients admitted to a general and trauma surgery ward. | ||||
| 6 | 2012 | Cooksley, T Kitlowski, E Haji-Michael, P | Effectiveness of Modified Early Warning Score in predicting outcomes in oncology patients | QJM | 1083-1088 |
| Conclusion | The currently used track and trigger systems have poor discriminatory value in identifying Oncological patients at risk of deterioration. An adapted score more focused upon the key predictive physiological parameters in this population needs to be developed to produce a more effective tool. | ||||

| Conclusion | The combination of MEWS and BLA may enhance prediction of ICU transfer in patients with severe sepsis/septic shock. | ||||
