Hospital mortality
Hospital mortality is defined as "a vital statistic measuring or recording the rate of death from any cause in hospitalized populations."[1]
Predicting hospital mortality
Strong predictors are abnormal vital signs and change in consciousness.
Comparative cohort studies[2] and systematic reviews[3] have assessed prediction models. The Modified Early Warning Score (MEWS) for Clinical Deterioration[3] and National Early Warning Score (NEWS)[2] perform well.
