The surprise question: predictive accuracy in an unselected emergency department population – a prospective study in nurses and physicians
The study supports the SQ as a simple prognostic tool in the ED, with 12-month prognostic accuracy being especially reliable in high-risk patients. The agreement between nurses and physicians was fair-moderate. The SQ could play an important role in guiding ED care, especially in high-risk patients.
