Modified Early Warning Scores: inaccurate summation or inaccurate assignment of score? [PDF]
Critical Care, 2010 Modified Early Warning Scores (MEWS) have been utilised to improve the recognition and medical response to patient deterioration. Their usefulness is, in part, dependent upon their accuracy and to date only small datasets have been analysed to determine the accuracy of MEWS [1]. The aim of our study was to determine the accuracy of MEWS and the reasons
