Objectives:
to identify the association of the National Early Warning Score (NEWS2) and NEWS Age with risk categories, severity markers and outcomes in the emergency department.
Methods:
retrospective cohort study, conducted in a high-complexity hospital, with 356 hospitalized patients (mean age 59.4; ±14.4 years) with COVID-19, from April to August 2020. To verify the association between risk categories and alert scores, the chi-square, Kruskal-Wallis and likelihood ratio tests (p<0.05) were used.
Results:
patients stratified in the red category had higher NEWS2 and NEWS Age (<0.0001) than the others. Clinical risk categorized by scores was associated with clinical deterioration (p<0.0001), orotracheal intubation (p<0.0001) and death (NEWS - p=0.0098/NEWS Age - p<0.0001).
Conclusions:
scores ≥ 7 were associated with red/orange risk stratification, clinical deterioration and occurrence of death.
