The role of kindling mechanism: A validation study of the Hungarian version of the Prediction of Alcohol Withdrawal Severity Scale
The probability of current c-AWS was 12 times higher among patients with PAWSS scores of 6 or higher. The chance of current c-AWS was almost 7 times higher in the case of history of c-AWS. These findings suggest that the Hungarian version of PAWSS is a valid and reliable clinical tool for assessing the risk of c-AWS, and highlight the importance of the kindling mechanism in the background of c-AWS.
