Table 3

Comparisons of median and IQR of continuous vital signs (heart rate, systolic blood pressure, temperature, respiratory rate and oxygen saturation) and distribution of discrete variables (Alert, Voice, Pain, Unresponsive Score and provision of supplemental oxygen) across the development and validation sets. Percentages represent a proportion of total number of observations
