Assessing prognosis with modified early warning score, rapid emergency medicine score and worthing physiological scoring system in patients admitted to intensive care unit from emergency department

Emergency departments are the main gates of the health care system. The increasing number of emergency patients, the prolongation of emergency patients' stay in emergency departments and the overcrowding in emergency departments make critical patient detection important (Olsson and Lind, 2003). In recent years, scoring systems have been proposed to determine which patients need intensive observation, treatment, and nursing care, which patients should be monitored and supported in intensive care conditions, and how to make this distinction in a quality and effective manner (Olsson and Lind, 2003; Baines and Kanagasundaram, 2008).
