Background & Objectives: Early warning scores are commonly used by hospital care teams to assess patients and diagnose early signs of their deterioration and initiate further treatment. Due to the existing studies and the lack of sufficient evidence for burned patients, we decided to investigate the value of initial NEWS and MEWS in predicting mortality in burned patients.
Methods: After obtaining permission from the Ethics Committee of TUMS, patients who were candidates for hospitalization in the burn wards of Sina Hospital from July to March 1998 were included. All demographic information including age, sex, APACHE Type of discharge, comorbidities, percentage of burns, initial hospitalization in the burn ward, type and time of initiation and duration of antibiotic use, amount of serum and NEWS and MEWS scores for all patients were enrolled immediately after admission to the ward as well as before discharge from the ward. Data were analyzed after registration in SPSS software version 23.
Results: In this study, 80 cases of burned patients were studied with a mean age of 37.94±18.85 years. The initial NEWS and MEWS indices have a good ability to diagnose burned patients (Area=0.79 and 0.78, p<0.001). The best cut- point based on the Youden index, for the initial NEWS and MEWS indices were obtained at 4.50 and 1.50, respectively.
Conclusion: In this study, for the first time, NEWS and MEWS were examined in predicting mortality in burned patients and it was found that these criteria can predict the prognosis of burned patients.
