The National Early Warning Score NEWS is a "track and trigger" scale designed to assess in-hospital patients' vital signs and detect clinical deterioration. In this study the NEWS was translated into Swedish and its association with the need of intensive care was investigated. A total of 868 patient charts, recorded by the medical emergency team at a university hospital, containing the parameters needed to calculate the NEWS were audited. The NEWS was translated into Swedish and tested for inter-rater reliability with a perfect agreement (weighted kappa=1.0) among the raters. The median score for patients admitted to the ICU were higher than for those who were not (10 vs. 8, p< 0.0001). AUROC for discriminating admittance to the ICU was 0.68 (95% CI: 0.622-0.739, p
