Respiratory National Early Warning Score for 28-day mortality prediction in suspected sepsis patients in the emergency department
R-NEWS, a simplified five-parameter score emphasizing respiratory function, demonstrated favorable performance for predicting short- and intermediate-term mortality in ED patients with suspected sepsis. Used alongside clinical judgment, R-NEWS may aid early risk stratification and sepsis management. External, multicenter validation and prospective evaluation are warranted before widespread implementation.
