Dataset Information

Multicentre, prospective observational study of the correlation between the Glasgow Admission Prediction Score and adverse outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To assess whether the Glasgow Admission Prediction Score (GAPS) is correlated with hospital length of stay, 6-month hospital readmission and 6-month all-cause mortality. This study represents a 6-month follow-up of patients who were included in an external validation of the GAPS' ability to predict admission at the point of triage.

Setting

Sampling was conducted between February and May 2016 at two separate emergency departments (EDs) in Sheffield and Glasgow.

Participants

Data were collected prospectively at triage for consecutive adult patients who presented to the ED within sampling times. Any patients who avoided formal triage were excluded from the study. In total, 1420 patients were recruited.
