''The predictive value of the modified early warning score with rapid lactate level (ViEWS-L) for mortality in patients of age 65 or older visiting the emergency department''. Internal and Emergency Medicine, 12(8), 1253-1257.1828-0447https://doi.org/10.1007/s11739-016-1559-7https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11739-016-1559-71970-9366http://hdl.handle.net/11452/30258The purpose of this study is to detect the predictive power of the modified early warning score with rapid lactate level (ViEWS-L) on mortality in critical patients over the age of 65 years admitted to the emergency department (ED). A total of 616 non-traumatic patients admitted to the Uludag University Faculty of Medicine ED who were 65 years of age or older were included in this study (Ethics board number: 2015-4/8). In this prospective study; the ViEWS-L score of the patients were calculated. The results have been evaluated with rate of mortality in the first 24 h starting from submission. The area under the ROC curve was found 0.872 and the cut-off value to detect mortality was found 10.83 for the ViEWS-L score. In the model obtained by the univariate binary logistic regression analysis, ViEWS-L score was found statistically significant and it was determined that mortality risk increased 1.286 times for each unit increase in the score of ViEWS-L score. As a result of this research, it was found that ViEWS-L scoring system is effective in determining the mortality of 65 years and older patients.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessGeneral & internal medicineEmergency departmentGeriatric patientMortalityViEWS-L scoring systemMedical admissionsCareAged80 and overBiomarkersEmergency service, hospitalFemaleHospital mortalityHumansLactic acidLogistic modelsMalePrognosisProspective studiesRetrospective studiesROC curveSeverity of illness indexStatistics, nonparametricTriageArticle0004157211000222-s2.0-849941417851253125712827804076Medicine, general & internalHospital Rapid Response Team; Heart Arrest; Early WarningBiological markerLactic acidAgedBloodEmergency health serviceFemaleHospital emergency serviceHospital mortalityHumanMaleNonparametric testOrganization and managementProceduresPrognosisProspective studyReceiver operating characteristicRetrospective studySeverity of illness indexStandardsStatistical modelStatistics and numerical dataVery elderly
