Abstract:
The early recognization and intervention of patients at risk of clinical deterioration plays an extreme-ly important role in improving the prognosis and decreasing mortality of those patients. Pediatric early warning score (PEWS)is a simple pediatric scoring system consisting of some physiological indicators.It can be used to dynamically evaluate the severity of illness either in pediatric emergency department or in inpatient wards and also to guide correspon-ding interventions.PEWS is easy to operate,time saving and also showed a good repeatability during clinical implemen-tion.So far,numerous clinical studies have demonstrated that PEWS shows high sensibility and specificity in early identifi-cation of clinical deterioration and is worthy of further clinical application.However,there is still no consensus about its cut-off score,which needs further substantial clinical research to verify.
