Why the study?
It was unknown whether the general prognostic National Early Warning Score had comparable performance to PESI and sPESI for predicting ICU admission and death in acute pulmonary embolism.
Does the National Early Warning Score (NEWS) accurately predict 7-day ICU admission and 30-day mortality compared to PESI and sPESI in haemodynamically stable patients with acute pulmonary embolism?

NEWS offers comparable utility to PESI/sPESI for ICU admission and mortality in stable PE; supports broader validation of general scores but should not yet change practice.
Does the National Early Warning Score (NEWS) accurately predict 7-day ICU admission and 30-day mortality compared to PESI and sPESI in haemodynamically stable patients with acute pulmonary embolism?
The National Early Warning Score (NEWS) performs comparably to PESI and sPESI for predicting short-term ICU admission and mortality in hemodynamically stable patients with acute pulmonary embolism.
