Abstract

Objectives: to identify the association of the National Early Warning Score (NEWS2) and NEWS Age with risk categories, severity markers and outcomes in the emergency department.

Methods: retrospective cohort study, conducted in a high-complexity hospital, with 356 hospitalized patients (mean age 59.4; ±14.4 years) with COVID-19, from April to August 2020. To verify the association between risk categories and alert scores, the chi-square, Kruskal-Wallis and likelihood ratio tests (p<0.05) were used.

Results: patients stratified in the red category had higher NEWS2 and NEWS Age (<0.0001) than the others. Clinical risk categorized by scores was associated with clinical deterioration (p<0.0001), orotracheal intubation (p<0.0001) and death (NEWS - p=0.0098/NEWS Age - p<0.0001).

Conclusions: scores ≥ 7 were associated with red/orange risk stratification, clinical deterioration and occurrence of death.

COVID-19：国家预警评分与分类类别、严重程度和结果的关联

目的：确定国家早期预警评分（NEWS2）和新闻年龄与急诊科风险类别、严重程度标记和结果的关系。方法：回顾性队列研究，在一家高复杂性医院进行，356例住院患者(平均年龄59.4；±14.4年)，从2020年4月至8月。为验证危险分类与预警评分之间的相关性，采用卡方检验、Kruskal-Wallis检验和似然比检验（结果：红色分类患者的NEWS2和NEWS Age较高）。结论：评分≥7分与红色/橙色危险分层、临床恶化和死亡发生相关。
