Overview
Brief Summary
The Early Warning Score (EWS) has been shown in previous studies to be correlated with mortality and mean hospital stay, but it is unknown whether the implementation of the scale improves mortality and mean hospital stay.
This trial aims to study whether the implantation of the EWS in a regional hospital reduces the mean hospital stay (primary objective), mortality and complications (secondary objectives).
For this, an open clinical trial will be carried out in which the hospitalization floors of the hospital will be administratively divided into two sections (two study branches); the EWS scale will be implemented in the computer equipment of one of the sections of each floor, acting the another section as a control branch.
All the patients admitted to the participating hospital floors during one year will be included in the study. The mean stay, mortality and complications will be compared between study branches.
