“…For each breath per minute, increase in respiratory rate (OR 1·07, 95% CI 1·02‐1·12) or beat per minute increase in heart rate (OR 1·02, 95% CI 1·002‐1·030) increased the risk of MET activation during the first 24 hours of hospital admission (Mora et al . ). Again, patients with MET activation within 24 hours of admission, had greater mortality than like patients who did not require a MET call (21% vs. 6%, P = 0·0003).…”
