Early Warning Scores (EWS) have become increasingly used by hospitals throughout the world to prevent unexpected admission to intensive care or even death in their inpatient population. It is well known that signs of deterioration are present well before collapse and by a combination of systems, EWS enable healthcare professionals to intervene at an appropriate time. A number of national bodies and regulators in the UK have required the use of Early Warning Scores in locations where children are inpatients. This article attempts to describe the background to their development, identify common problems and provide information for units interested in introducing an EWS into their department.
早期预警评分（EWS）在全球医院中越来越多地被用于预防住院患者意外进入重症监护室甚至死亡。众所周知，病情恶化的迹象在病情崩溃之前就已出现，通过多种系统的结合，EWS使医护人员能够在适当的时候进行干预。英国的一些国家机构和监管机构要求在有儿童住院的场所使用早期预警评分。本文试图描述其发展背景，识别常见问题，并为有兴趣在其科室引入EWS的单位提供信息。
