Modified Early Warning Score (MEWS) combined with biomarkers in predicting 7-day mortality in traumatic brain injury patients in the emergency department: a retrospective cohort study
MEWS performed best in predicting the 7-day mortality of TBI patients, and its predicting performance was improved when combined with blood-based biomarkers such as RDW and creatine. Our findings provide preliminary evidence supporting the combination of MEWS with blood-based biomarkers as a new method for predicting 7-day mortality in patients with TBI.
