Abstract: Objective To investigate the predictive value of mnodified early warning score (MEWS) in predicting emergency potential in critically ill patients and its feasibility.Methods A total of 298 patients in the emergency department and emergency room were evaluated using the MEWS.The distribution of transfer to cadiopulmanary resuscitation (CPR),intensive care unit (ICU) and high dependency unit (HDU),length of hospital stay ( more than 1 month or not) and transferred to advanced hospital,death were recorded,and all patients were followed up.Results Patients with different MEWS were treated significantly differently ( x2=258.697,P ＜ 0.001 ),and their prognosis were also significantly different ( x2=115.938,P ＜ 0.001 ).the condition of patiens were significantly correlated with MEWS ( r=0.848,P ＜ 0.001 ).Conclusion The MEWS in the prediction of potential in critically ill patients in emergency department is feasible as a special emergency assessment system and is recommended for promotion.
