We reported the predictive value of modified VitalPAC Early Warning Score(ViEWS) with lactate level, which named ViEWS-L score[1]. However, queries are raised about the ViEWS using in the present manuscript. First, the weightings for the four SpO2 ranges. Second, the weightings for the five temperature ranges. And third, ambiguities in the cut-off points between the weighting bands for the respiratory rate values. We che...

They also present the AUROC value for a new EWS, the ViEWS-L score, which they state is the combination of ViEWS with th...Show MoreConflict of Interest:
