The patient‐at‐risk team: identifying and managing seriously ill ward patients
Abstract
A ‘patient‐at‐risk team’, established to allow the early identification of seriously ill patients on hospital wards, made 69 assessments on 63 patients over 6 months. Predefined physiological criteria were not able to reliably predict which patients would be admitted to the intensive care unit. The incidence of cardiopulmonary resuscitation before intensive care admission was 3.6% for patients seen by the team and 30.4% for those not seen (p < 0.005). Of admissions seen by the team, 25% died on the intensive care unit compared with 45% of those not seen (not significant, p = 0.07). Among those not seen by the team, mortality was 40% for those who did not require resuscitation and 57% for those who did (not significant). Many critically ill ward patients had abnormal physiological values before intensive care unit admission. Identification of critically ill patients on the ward and early advice and active management are likely to prevent the need for cardiopulmonary resuscitation and to improve outcome.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
