| ARCHETYPE ID | openEHR-EHR-OBSERVATION.pews_uk.v1 |
| Concept | Paediatric Early Warning Score (UK) |
| Description | A simple score used to provide an objective indication of the degree of illness of a paediatric patient. |
| Use | Use to record a composite score to support assessment of the degree of illness in an unwell child. |
| Misuse | Not to be used to record each physical measurement or clinical observation. Use specific OBSERVATION archetypes for this purpose - OBSERVATION.blood_pressure, OBSERVATION.heart_rate, OBSERVATION.respirations, OBSERVATION.body_temperature, OBSERVATION.indirect_oximetry, OBSERVATION.avpu and OBSERVATION.glasgow_coma. Not to be used for children/teens under the age of 16 years or in pregnancy. |
| Purpose | To record provide a composite score based on categorising physiological readings and observations, as a simple method to support objective assessment of the degree of illness in an unwell child. |
