The predictive value of the modified early warning score for admission to the intensive care unit in patients with a hematologic malignancy - A multicenter observational study.

The Modified Early Warning Score (MEWS) can be used as a tool for healthcare providers to monitor clinical deterioration and predict the need for intensive care unit admission in patients with a hematologic malignancy. Yet, consistent application and potential reevaluation of current thresholds is crucial. This will enable bedside nurses to more effectively identify patients needing adjunctive care, facilitating timely interventions and improved outcome.
