Journal Article
Rowland, A., Cotterill, S., Lees, H., & Kelly, J. (2014). G16 The Paediatric Observation Priority Score (POPS): a more accurate predictor of admission risk from the Emergency Department than the Manchester Children's Early Warning System (ManChEWS). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 99(Suppl), A8-A8. https://doi.org/10.1136/archdischild-2014-306237.16

Background The Paediatric Observation Priority Score (POPS) is a specific Emergency Department (ED) physiological and observational aggregate scoring system, with scores of 0–18. A higher score indicates greater likelihood of admission. The Mancheste...
