Predicting 30-day mortality in emergency department patients with suspected infection: external validation of the RISE UP score in a single tertiary centre.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Rapid identification of high-risk and low-risk patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) influences clinical management and can help optimise patient outcomes as well as resource allocation. This study aims to externally validate the Risk Stratification in the Emergency Department in Acutely Ill Older Patients (RISE UP) score in adult patients in the ED with suspected infection. Furthermore, generalisability was assessed by comparing the discriminatory ability of the RISE UP with the quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA) as well as the Modified Early Warning Score (MEWS) and National Early Warning Score (NEWS).

Design

Retrospective cohort study.

Setting

Single-centre study in the ED of a tertiary, university-affiliated hospital.
