                         Background/aim:
  Early  warning  scores  (EWS),  widely  used  around  the  world  but  not  yet  in  Turkey,  are  composed  of  physiological  
parameters designed to determine potentially worsening patients to perform necessary interventions in time. The aim is to determine 
the national EWS (NEWS) of the patients to assess the relation between this score and length of hospital stay (LOHS), transfer to the 
ICU, 24-h and 28-day mortality rates, and the frequency of in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA). 
Materials  and  methods:
  NEWS  of  all  the  patients  in  the  internal  medicine  clinics  were  calculated  via  a  point  prevalence  study.  The  
LOHS, transfer to the ICU, rates of mortality in the 24-h and 28-day period, IHCA rate, and the period of the stay in the ICU parameters 
were determined. 
Results:
 Out of 104 patients, 84 of them had low scores (<5), while 20 had mid/high scores. In mid/high-score group (score ≥ 5), transfer 
to the ICU, IHCA rate, and mortality rates within 24 h and 28 days were significantly higher.
Conclusion:
 In this, the first prospective study about EWS in Turkey, 24-h and 28-day mortality rates, transfer to the ICU, and IHCA 
frequency of the patients with mid/high NEWS were higher.
Key words:
 National early warning score, cardiac arrest, intensive care unit, mortality
