Studies from University of Aberdeen Yield New Information about Clinical Neurology (Modified Early Warning Score and Risk of Mortality After Acute Stroke)

摘要

2021 MAY 05 (NewsRx) - By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Disease Prevention Daily - Fresh data on Neurology - Clinical Neurology are presented in a new report. According to news reporting out of Aberdeen, United Kingdom, by NewsRx editors, research stated, "An accurate prediction tool may facilitate optimal management of patients with acute stroke from an early stage. We evaluated the association between admission modified early warning score (MEWS) and mortality in patients with acute stroke." Financial support for this research came from UK National Institute of Health Research, Research for Patient Benefit Programme. Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from the University of Aberdeen, "Data from the Anglia Stroke Clinical Network Evaluation Study (ASCNES) were analysed. We evaluated the association between admission MEWS and four outcomes; in-patient, 7-day, 30-day and 1-year mortality. Logistic regression models were used to calculate the odds of all mortality timeframes, whereas Cox proportional hazards models were used to calculate mortality at 1 year. Five univariate and multivariate models were constructed, adjusting for confounders. Patients with a moderate (2-3) or high (>= 4) scores were compared to patients with a low score (0 & ndash;l). The study population consisted of 2006 patients.
