Key Words Intermediate Care Unit; High-dependency unit; Clinical deterioration; Vital signs; Early Warning Scoring
Core Tip This study used all the routinely collected Early Warning Scores (EWS) in every nursing shift from 2014 to 2016 (n = 9113) at the standalone Intermediate Care Unit to assess the performance and clinical relevance of the EWS to detect clinical deterioration amongst patients admitted in this critical care facility. It follows that although the discriminative performance was acceptable (AUC 0.72), the clinical relevance is limited as 19 false alarms were needed to detect one event. As this may result in alarm fatigue, its use in this setting should be reconsidered.
