Paediatric early warning score (PEWS) as predictors of deterioration In children with bronchiolitis can paediatric early warning score (PEWS) predict deterioration?
- Any explanatory notes
(if applicable) Why this is important:- In children with bronchiolitis there is clinical uncertainty about the prediction of deterioration. There are a number of clinical scores for bronchiolitis that include objective and subjective measures. No bronchiolitis score is currently in widespread use in clinical practice. Increasingly, PEWS are being employed generically in paediatric practice in the UK. The effectiveness of PEWS scores in predicting deterioration for infants with bronchiolitis needs to be assessed.
