Clinical predictors of physiological deterioration [PDF]
To study the ability and the feasibility of the Modified Early Warning Score (MEWS) as a screening tool to predict the high-risk critically ill patients who may develop cardiorespiratory arrest, and to compare between the MEWS and the Simplified Acute Physiology Score II (SAPS II) regarding the sensitivity, specificity and more easy to be applied.

Advancing In-Hospital Clinical Deterioration Prediction Models [PDF]
Early warning systems lack robust evidence that they improve patients' outcomes, possibly because of their limitation of predicting binary rather than time-to-event outcomes.To compare the prediction accuracy of 2 statistical modeling strategies (logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards regression) and 2 machine learning strategies (random ...

Minor stroke due to large artery occlusion. When is intravenous thrombolysis not enough? Results from the SITS International Stroke Thrombolysis Register [PDF]
Purpose: Beyond intravenous thrombolysis, evidence is lacking on acute treatment of minor stroke caused by large artery occlusion. To identify candidates for additional endovascular therapy, we aimed to determine the frequency of non-haemorrhagic ...
