Prediction of Alcohol Withdrawal Severity Scale (PAWSS) for patients cared for in an emergency department/Level I Trauma Center: An evidence-based practice change

Implementation of PAWSS resulted in decreased ED LOS, decreased ICU admissions, and decreased use of medications for the treatment of alcohol withdrawal. These promising results suggest PAWSS is a valuable screening tool for ED patients with the potential for experiencing alcohol withdrawal.
