Does a predictive model combining heart rate variability and laboratory measures improve the prediction of deterioration in patients presenting to the ED with sepsis?
A predictive model combining heart rate variability and laboratory values can effectively stratify the risk of short-term deterioration in ED patients with sepsis.
Barnaby et al. (2018) studied this question.
