Prospective observational study to determine the utility of Rapid Emergency Medicine Score (REMS) in comparison to National Early Warning Score2 (NEWS2) for predicting morbidity and mortality among patients presenting to the Emergency Department with clinical suspicion of Sepsis
Rapid Emergency Medicine Score (REMS) is an attenuated version of the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score and has utility in predicting mortality in non- surgical patients. The NEWS2 can be used on all hospitalized patients to allow for the early detection of clinical deterioration and potential need for higher level of care. NEWS2 is closely associated with sepsis, however REMS is not so. But in recent studies comparing other EWS (Early Warning Scores) of sepsis, REMS was found to be superior.
Hence comparing REMs against NEWS2 to determine prognostication value of both scores in sepsis.
Based on the sensitivity of REMS score for predicting the morbidity and mortality as compared to NEWS2 in patients with clinical suspicion of sepsis as observed in earlier publications; citing hereby "The utility of the rapid emergency medicine score (REMS) compared with SIRS, qSOFA and NEWS for Predicting in-hospital Mortality among Patients with suspicion of Sepsis in an emergency department" \& "NEWS2 Is Superior to qSOFA in Detecting Sepsis with Organ Dysfunction in the Emergency Department" with 95% confidence level \& 15% relative allowable error, minimum sample size comes to 130.
Exclusion Criteria:
Drug: Antibiotics, Vasopressors
Both groups are scored on REMS and NEWS2, and then observed closely for the period of hospital stay with regard to ICU stay duration, ventilator days, vasopressor dependent days and total hospital duration
To determine the utility of REMS score over NEWS2 score - number of days of intensive care.
To compare REMS score against NEWS2 score with regard to morbidity indicators as - Number of days of intensive care
Time frame: 18 months
To determine the utility of REMS score over NEWS2 score - need for vasopressor administration
To compare REMS score against NEWS2 score with regard to morbidity indicators as - need for vasopressor administration
Time frame: 18 months
To determine the utility of REMS score over NEWS2 score - number of days spent as IP
To compare REMS score against NEWS2 score with regard to morbidity indicators as - number of days spent in hospital
Time frame: 18 months
To determine the utility of REMS score over NEWS2 score - need for mechanical ventilation
To compare REMS score against NEWS2 score with regard to morbidity indicators as - need for mechanical ventilation
Time frame: 18 months
