2013, Journal of Emergency MedicineCitation Excerpt :In our study, we found that an MPIS ≥ 5 at the 1st hour had a sensitivity and PPV of 42.4% and 41%, respectively, whereas the sensitivity and PPV of moderate/severe attack severity according to the GINA guideline were found to be 44.2% and 38.2%, respectively. Predictive values in our study were not as high as in recent studies (23,29,30,34). Approximately 60% of the patients determined as moderate/severe at the 1st hour were discharged, whereas 14% of the mild attack patients were hospitalized.
