Emergency care in patients with a higher co-morbid burden is more likely to lead to unplanned ICU admission, putting patients at a significantly increased chance of mortality, longer length of stay, and increased costs. Improving care and monitoring of patients outside the ICU may help detect early changes in pathophysiology and enable early intervention.
