The purpose of the study is to compare the ability of physicians and a statistical index
(the Rothman score) to predict clinical deterioration over the next 24 hours. Clinical
deterioration is defined as concern in change in vital signs or patient status requiring a
call to the rapid response team, cardiopulmonary arrest, or transfer to the ICU.
(the Rothman score) to predict clinical deterioration over the next 24 hours. Clinical
deterioration is defined as concern in change in vital signs or patient status requiring a
call to the rapid response team, cardiopulmonary arrest, or transfer to the ICU.
The proposed study will ask interns, residents, and attending physicians from general
internal medicine teaching teams in a large teaching hospital to make predictions about the
probability of their patient having a clinical deterioration in the next 24 hours. The
investigators will compare these judgments to the Rothman index.
