AB  - The cause of deterioration is often unclear, so it is vitally important that we spot the sick and deteriorating patient from all causes. As a result, warning scores must cater for all conditions, and – where possible – be standardised across all healthcare settings. This article summarises the importance of an ‘unblinkered’ approach to acute illness assessment, comparing and examining the evidence for different historical scoring systems and looking at the early impact of national alignment to NEWS2 in patients admitted to hospital with suspected bacterial infections.
