Accuracy and Monitoring of Pediatric Early Warning Score (PEWS) Scores Prior to Emergent Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (ICU) Transfer: Retrospective Analysis (Preprint)
Abstract:BACKGROUND

There are limited data on the utility of these scores prior to events of decompensation leading to pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) transfer.
