A joint model combining physician and EWS predictions outperforms either alone
| Joint Model | Physicians | EWS | |
| AUROC (CI) | 0.78 (0.70–0.85) | 0.70 (0.62 to 0.79)* | 0.73 (0.66–0.81)* |
| P value | P=0.016† | P=0.050† | |
| Goodness-of-fit testing | P<0.001‡ | P=0.006‡ | |
| Adjusted ORs (CI) | |||
| High versus low | 4.8 (1.8 to 12.7) | 7.4 (2.52 to 21.9) |
*Independent AUROC.
