Risk stratification tools examples: [7] Early warning score such as the Modified Early Warning Score (MEWS), to predict ICU readmission, and the Pediatric early warning signs (PEWS) score; Minimizing ICU Readmission (MIR) score, [8] to predict patient death or ICU readmission. Sabadell score, which predicts hospital mortality after ICU discharge.
