Figure 3. Early Warning Score Efficiency Curves for Patients With Suspected Infection.

Figure 3.

Proportion of patients who reach each score threshold against the risk score sensitivity for suspected infection. Across any sensitivity threshold, the National Early Warning Score (NEWS) was associated with the lowest percentage of patients who crossed the alert threshold and would require screening. BTF indicates Between the Flags; MEWS, Modified Early Warning Score; qSOFA, Quick Sepsis-Related Organ Failure Assessment; and SIRS, Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome.
