Shock Indices as Predictors of Outcomes in Emergency Department Patients With Emergency Severity Index Level 3
Among ESI level 3 ED patients, SI ≥1.2 demonstrated strong predictive value for mortality, while ASI ≥36.8 showed moderate predictive value and was additionally associated with longer LOS. These indices, particularly the SI and ASI, may be useful adjuncts to clinical assessment for predicting mortality risk in this patient population.
