Association Between NEWS2 Scores at PACU Discharge and Unplanned ICU Admission
OR discharge scoring study
On the Validity of Scoring Upon Leaving the Operating Theatre

NO
We evaluated whether the use of NEWS2 for patient assessment in the recovery room enables a prompt response to changes in a patient's condition.
To this end, we investigated the association between the NEWS2 score at the time of discharge from the PACU and unplanned admission to the ICU, using patients admitted to the PACU following general anaesthesia as our study population. We also examined the usefulness of the NEWS2 score at the time of PACU discharge as a predictor of unplanned ICU admission.
Efficacy
Occurrence of unplanned ICU admission
Distribution of NEWS2 scores upon discharge from the PACU; association between individual NEWS2 components and unplanned ICU admission; length of stay in the PACU; requests for rapid in-hospital response (to be set as required); association with postoperative adverse events (to be set as required)
Observational
| 18 | years-old | <= |
| Not applicable |

Patients scheduled for ICU admission preoperatively or intraoperatively
Patients with missing data required for the primary outcome or main explanatory variables
Cesarean section cases
Tracheostomy cases
Other cases judged inappropriate for inclusion by the principal investigator

This study examines the distribution of NEWS2 scores at the time of discharge from the post-anaesthesia care unit (PACU) and whether patients experienced a sudden deterioration in their condition after returning to the ward, based on NEWS2 scores measured in the PACU following general anaesthesia in the operating theatres at Kashiwa Hospital between 1 July 2021 and 31 December 2025.
