Is NEWS2 the optimal evidence-based surveillance tool for all respiratory patients or does it just represent the beginning of an iterative development process? (2025)
Journal Article
Shaw, D., & Fogarty, A. W. (2025). Is NEWS2 the optimal evidence-based surveillance tool for all respiratory patients or does it just represent the beginning of an iterative development process?. Thorax, Article thorax-2024-222335. https://doi.org/10.1136/thorax-2024-222335

Medical practice is built on the foundations of evidence-based medicine. Hence, the more common the clinical intervention, the more comprehensive the evidence on which that intervention should be based. Although the widespread adoption of a national...
