Performance of digital early warning score (NEWS2) in a cardiac specialist setting: retrospective cohort study by Amitava Banerjee, Riyaz Patel, Baneen Alhmoud, Daniel Melley, Tim Bonnici

“…NEWS2 was supplemented with age and cardiac rhythm and investigated. We used logistic regression analysis with the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) to measure discrimination.Results In 6143 patients admitted under cardiac specialties, NEWS2 showed moderate to low predictive accuracy of traditionally examined outcomes: death, ICU admission, cardiac arrest and medical emergency (AUC: 0.63, 0.56, 0.70 and 0.63, respectively). …”
