Clinical deterioration in hospitalized children is associated with increased risk of mortality and morbidity. A prediction model capable of accurate and early identification of pediatric patients at risk of deterioration can facilitate timely assessment and intervention, potentially improving survival and long-term outcomes. The objective of this study was to develop a model utilizing vital signs from electronic health record data for predicting clinical deterioration in pediatric ward patients.
