Figure 3From: Multicentre validation of the bedside paediatric early warning system score: a severity of illness score to detect evolving critical illness in hospitalised childrenThe relationship between the number of risk factors for near and actual cardiopulmonary arrest and the maximum Bedside Paediatric Early Warning System (BPEWS) score for the 12 hours ending 1 hour before immediate call to a resuscitation team or urgent paediatric intensive care unit admission in 686 case patients and for 12 hours in 1,388 control patients with no events. The maximum BPEWS score was not related to the number of risk factors in case patients and was positively associated in control patients (P < 0.0001).Back to article page
