A new classification for emergency critically ill patients and analysis of their adverse events during intrahospital transport: A cluster analysis.

Background: Critical patients may experience various adverse events during transportation within hospitals. Therefore, quickly evaluating and classifying patients before transporting them from the emergency department and focusing on managing high-risk patients are critical. At present, no unified classification method exists; all the current approaches are subjective.

Establishment of a simplified score for predicting risk during intrahospital transport of critical patients: A prospective cohort study.

Aims And Objectives: To establish a simple score that enables nurses to quickly, conveniently and accurately identify patients whose condition may change during intrahospital transport.

Background: Critically ill patients may experience various complications during intrahospital transport; therefore, it is important to predict their risk before they leave the emergency department. The existing scoring systems were not developed for this population.

Risk prediction using the National Early Warning Score and the Worthing Physiological Scoring System in patients who were transported to the Intensive Care Unit from the Emergency Department: A cohort study.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the value of the National Early Warning Score and Worthing Physiological Scoring System for predicting changes in the condition of critical cases during transfer from the emergency department to the intensive care unit.

Methods: This prospective single-centre study was conducted at a 1759-bed hospital in Beijing. We recorded the vital signs in the cases before leaving the emergency department and their changes in condition during transit.
