Brief Summary:
National early warning score (NEWS) enables early detection of patient deterioration in hospital floors. However, there is limited data on the prognostic value of NEWS among actual general ward patients. Further, there is no data on how changes in NEWS-values impact patient outcomes. Very little is known on how post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) and pain influences NEWS values and vital signs in general.
Detailed Description:
The investigators aim to collect detailed data on patients' vital signs, NEWSs, pain scores and PONV scores through electronic data records, where these values are automatically stored with mobile mobile smart devices used by nursing staff. The expected volume of the cohort is 50,000 patients and 300,000 recordings of vital signs.
In addition to the scores and vital signs, the registry will include patients' identification numbers (IDs), dates and times of the recordings, and ward numbers. With the IDs, mortality data up to 90-days for the patients will be obtained from the national population register centre. All data will be handled in a pseudonymized form in a secure computer inside hospital, and approval to use the registry in study purposes will be obtained from the Ethics Committee of Tampere University Hospital.
