    Vorwerk C. MEWS: predicts hospital admission and mortality in emergency department patients. Emerg Med J 2009 Jun;26(6):466.

    The paper by Burch et al1 on the modified early warning (MEW) score predicting hospital admission and inhospital mortality is both interesting and topical.

    I agree with the authors that the MEW score, a risk assessment tool now widely used in UK emergency departments (ED) to facilitate the early identification of high-risk patients, is a good predictor of inhospital mortality.2 I also share the authors’ concerns that there are limitations to using the MEW score and that the MEW score needs to be interpreted in context with other clinical findings associated with a risk of adverse outcome. This is supported by our findings among adult ED patients admitted to hospital, in whom 33% of non-survivors were found to have low ED arrival MEW scores (0–2).

    Burch VC, Tarr G, Morroni C. Modified early warning score predicts the need for hospital admission and inhospital mortality. Emergency Medicine Journal 2008;25:674-678

    The modified early warning score (MEWS) is a useful tool for identifying hospitalised patients in need of a higher level of care and those at risk of inhospital death. Use of the MEWS as a triage tool to identify patients needing hospital admission and those at increased risk of inhospital death has been evaluated only to a limited extent. Aim: To evaluate the use of the MEWS as a triage tool to identify medical patients presenting to the emergency department who require admission to hospital and are at increased risk of inhospital death.
