Abstract

Abstract The commonly used Modified Early Warning score (MEWS) may poorly predict deterioration in COVID-19 patients. Therefore, an adjusted MEWS for COVID-19 patients (CEWS) was constructed. CEWS exceeded MEWS at all time points and impending death or intensive care unit (ICU) admission was strongly correlated with a persistently high CEWS.
