Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The Children's Early Warning Tool (CEWT), developed in Australia, is widely used in many countries to monitor the risk of deterioration in hospitalized children. Our objective was to compare CEWT prediction performance against a version of the Bedside Pediatric Early Warning Score (Bedside PEWS), Between the Flags (BTF), and the pediatric Calculated Assessment of Risk and Triage (pCART).
