- Early detection of at-risk children in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is crucial for reducing severe health complications and deaths.
- The study validated the Emergency Department-Pediatric Early Warning Score (ED-PEWS) using clinical data from various LMICs to assess its effectiveness in identifying children needing urgent care.
- Results showed that the ED-PEWS is moderately to highly effective at recognizing high-urgency cases, with sensitivity and specificity varying across different locations, highlighting its potential to improve urgent care in these settings.
