- The study assessed the effectiveness of five scoring systems (qSOFA, MEWS, NEWS, SIRS, GREMP) in predicting ICU admissions for patients with emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN).
- Conducted over a 14-year period, the research involved 70 patients and found significant associations between ICU admissions and various clinical factors, such as respiration rate, blood pressure, and confusion.
