Validation of National Early Warning Score for predicting 30-day mortality after rapid response system activation in Japan.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

Although rapid response systems (RRS) are used to prevent adverse events, Japan reportedly has low activation rates and high mortality rates. The National Early Warning Score (NEWS) could provide a solution, but it has not been validated in Japan. We aimed to validate NEWS for Japanese patients.

Methods

This retrospective observational study included data of 2,255 adult patients from 33 facilities registered in the In-Hospital Emergency Registry in Japan between January 2014 and March 2018. The primary evaluated outcome was mortality rate 30 days after RRS activation. Accuracy of NEWS was analyzed with the correlation coefficient and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve. Prediction weights of NEWS parameters were then analyzed using multiple logistic re
