Overview

Ward monitoring may identify high-risk patients pre-ICU; leaves open whether earlier escalation improves survival.

Structured PICO

P
Population
76 patients (79 admissions) who had been in hospital for at least 24 hours and had not undergone surgery within 24 hours of admission to intensive care
O
Outcome
Physiological values and interventions in the 24 hours before entry to intensive care, and hospital mortality
