Observational findings reveal significant diurnal variability in MET events in unmonitored units, implying monitoring could improve patient detection.
More MET events take place during the day. MET events in unmonitored units have a greater diurnal variability than those from monitored units. ICUs show no diurnal variation in MET event rate. Our results suggest a significant variability in the hospital ability to consistently detect patients who meet MET activation criteria.
