At the time of admission 236 (76%) had mews ≤ 5 and 64 (21%) had mews more than 5. At 24 h of admission in emergency, 86% had mews≤ 5 and 14% had more than 5.out of 32 in hospital deaths 21.9% belonged to mews group &# 8804; 5 and 78% belongs to mews group >5. Mews >5 at 0 as well as at 24 h was correlated with poor outcome. (P<0.05 for both)
