Compared to the National Early Warning Score from the UK, Q-ADDS had a higher rate of prediction of deterioration (46.5% Q-ADDS vs 40.8% NEWS) but a higher rate of false-positives (3.2:1 Q-ADDS vs 2.4:1 NEWS). [12] The efficacy of EWSs in improving patient outcomes is also reliant on a number of personal and structural factors.
