Background: In the hospital, sickness severity and worsening were predicted using the Modified Early Warning Score (MEWS). The MEWS makes it possible to detect patient deterioration early, take prompt treatment, and consistently gauge the seriousness of a disease. Objectives: To assess the Modified Early Warning Score (MEWS) in predicting critical care unit admission among emergency department patients. Methodology: Research approach: quantitative approach, descriptive research design was used for 60 samples by convenience sampling techniques. Modified Early Warning Score (MEWS) tool was used to predict critical care admission in emergency department. Result: out of 60 samples, 30(50%) had medium score which infers that key threshold urgent response in critical care unit admission, 16(26.7%) had low score which interprets ward based admission and 14(23.3%) had high score which interprets urgent (or) emergency response admission. Regarding critical care admission in emergency department patients the demographic variables age, education and clinical variable in mechanical ventilator support had shown statistically significant association with Modified Early Warning Score in predicting critical care unit admission among patients in emergency department at p
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
