Assessment value of the modified early warning score for long-term prognosis of older patients with chronic heart failure

Résumé fourni par la source

AIM: The aim of the study was to explore the assessment value of the modified early warning score (MEWS) for the long-term prognosis of older patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). METHODS: = 132). Their general clinical data and the MEWS were compared. The predictive values of the MEWS, troponin I (cTnI) and B-type natriuretic (BNP) peptide for long-term prognosis were assessed using receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curves. RESULTS: = -0.425). The area under the ROC curve of the MEWS was 0.852, indicating higher accuracy. The optimal cut-off value, sensitivity and specificity of the MEWS for determining prognosis were 5.6, 0.854 and 0.797 points, respectively. CONCLUSION: The MEWS rose with increasing NYHA grade and reflected the severity of CHF in older patients, which has higher predictive value for long-term prognosis.
