16 National Early Warning Score (NEWS)

17 Supplemental Oxygen Temperature Level of Consciousness (defined on the AVPU system) AHSN Regional pathway National EarlyOxford Warning Score (NEWS) The NEWS scores are directly linked to mortality, the higher the score above what would normally be expected for the patient, the worse the prognosis. When a single admission NEWS score is taken in patients with symptoms of infection (the commonest reason for admission) the mortality equates to: NEWS Score Mortality 0 0.5% <5 5.5% 5 22% 7 27% 9 38% Baseline observations Patients with chronic hypoxic states (e.g. COPD) are likely to always score for hypoxia even when well; knowing their baseline oxygen level and the presence of a deterioration in this and in their function is the best guide to determine admission A single admission NEWS score in patients with symptoms of infection predicts mortality
