Summary: The study externally validated the GRAVo score for predicting PEG tube placement after intracerebral hemorrhages (ICH) and found that it was valid but less accurate compared to the derivation cohort. The inclusion of race as a variable did not significantly affect the model's performance.

Summary: CT-based cerebral small vessel disease biomarkers are associated with 6-month functional outcome after intracerebral hemorrhage, but adding them does not significantly improve the performance of the existing ICH prediction score.

Summary: This study externally validated the Universal Vital Assessment (UVA) score in predicting mortality in patients with acute infection in Rwanda. The results showed that both the UVA score and amalgamated qSOFA score had good predictive ability for mortality in adult patients admitted with acute infection.

Summary: In this study, a tool for predicting in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) in the emergency department (ED) was externally validated and shown to outperform other early warning scores. However, further prospective research is needed to determine the real-world impact of the EDICAS warning system.

Summary: In this study, ferroptosis-related genes associated with glioblastoma (GBM) were identified and a risk score model was constructed based on these genes. The model showed a significant difference in overall survival between high- and low-risk groups, suggesting its potential as a prognostic tool for GBM patients.

Summary: This study validated the performance of the Score for Emergency Risk Prediction (SERP) in a Korean cohort and compared it with the Korean Triage Acuity Scale (KTAS). The results showed that SERP outperformed KTAS in predicting in-hospital and 30-day mortality in the external validation cohort.

Summary: In this study, the ACUTE HF score was found to be an independent predictor of in-hospital mortality in patients with AHF. Patients were categorized into low, intermediate, and high-risk groups based on the score, with a significant association between the score and mortality rate observed. More validation studies in different regions with diverse AHF populations are needed to determine the generalizability of the ACUTE HF score.
