Conclusions: Patients admitted to the ICU after late assessment of their clinical status using a PR score have higher APACHE and SAPS scores and MODS rate and possibly longer ICU stays. ![]() In the 33 delayed alerts, patients had higher APACHE II and SAPS II scores and incidence of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), and tended to have longer ICU admission while other variables were similar. Alerts were most frequently circulatory (33.7%) or respiratory (30%) related, and made by physicians on duty (85.2%). Results: During the study, there were 80 admissions of 69 patients (Mean age: 67.91 years, standard deviation: 13.85). Delayed alerts and other variables were compared using Student’s t, Mann Whitney U or X2 tests, as appropriate, with p<0.05 considered significant. A delayed alert was defined as a PAR score >2, or ≥2 warning signs in systemic blood pressure or peripheral pulse oximetry saturation assessments between 8 and 24 h before ICU admission. We gathered data on demographic characteristics, clinical risk scores, PAR scores and trigger criteria. During this period, a protocol was in place to assess the PR on hospital wards. Methods: Retrospective analysis was conducted of patients admitted to the ICU from hospital wards between January and July 2013. The objective of this study was to assess differences between hospital-ward patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) with persistent clinical deterioration measured by a patient at risk (PR) score and those admitted at an earlier stage of deterioration. 01004, Spainīackground: The prognosis of hospitalised patients requiring ICU admission depends on the time since onset of clinical deterioration.
