CLINICAL METRIC FOR PREDICTING ONSET OF CARDIORESPIRATORY DETERIORATION IN PATIENTS

A system generates and displays a clinical metric based on continuously collected patient physiological data, wherein the clinical metric provides a predictive measure of the likelihood of the onset of a cardiorespiratory deterioration event in the patient in a predetermined time period in the future. If the clinical metric has a configured relationship with a predetermined threshold value, embodiments may generate an alarm in addition to or instead of displaying the clinical metric. The clinical metric thus allows clinical staff to take medically indicated actions to prevent or reduce the effects of the predicted deterioration.
