External validation of 5A score model for predicting in-hospital mortality among the accidental hypothermia patients: JAAM-Hypothermia study 2018-2019 secondary analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The 5A score including five components "Age, Activities of daily living, Arrest, Acidemia and Albumin" was developed as an easy-to-use screening tool for predicting in-hospital mortality among patients with accidental hypothermia.

Method

This secondary analysis of the multicenter, prospective cohort Japanese Association for Acute Medicine-Hypothermia Study (2018-2019), which was conducted at 87 and 89 institutions throughout Japan, collected data from December 2018 to February 2019 and from December 2019 to February 2020.
