General description
National Early Warning Score (NEWS) 2 is used to help standardize the assessment of acute-illness severity when patients present acutely to hospital and in prehospital assessment, i.e. by the ambulance services. It has proven to be a strong indicator of increased risk of serious clinical deterioration and mortality in patients with sepsis and a variety of acute medical illnesses, surgical patients and patients with acute trauma.
The NEWS is based on a simple aggregate scoring system in which a score is allocated to physiological measurements, already recorded in routine practice. Six simple physiological parameters form the basis of the scoring system: respiration rate, oxygen saturation, systolic blood pressure, pulse rate, temperature and level of consciousness or new confusion. Higher aggregated scores indicate higher risk of clinical deterioration. Scores 0–4 are classified as low risk, score 3 in any individual parameter is low-medium risk, scores 5–6 are medium risk and score ≥ 7 is classified as high risk.
Depending on the NEW score, recommendations for the: frequency of clinical monitoring, the urgency of clinical review, and the competency requirements of the clinical team needed to undertake that review and respond, are provided.
The NEWS has been validated in many settings within the NHS and internationally, including emergency departments and in the prehospital setting.
