AKA Alert Score


It is an equation that provides a score for the early prediction of the probability of an adverse hospital outcome for medical patients and uses values the database program collects at patient admission.
The {{PAGENAME}} attempts to predict early which patients will have an adverse hospital outcome. It is based on the paper [[The ALERT scale: an observational study of early prediction of adverse hospital outcome for medical patients]].  


Adverse outcomes being:
Julie calculates the Alert Scale in SAS based on [[ALERT Scale timing of assessment]] and [[ALERT Scale Calculation]]. See [[ALERT Scale Use]] for potential uses of this tool.
*cardiac arrest
*death
*ICU admission within first 48 hours of hospital admission.


The early risk stratification tool can compliment other assessment measures used in the initial assessment of patients admitted to general medicine wards to better screen patients who can then be provided more effective care.
We support an [[ALERT Scale App]] to calculate this scale.
