    Abstract The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a dramatic increase in acutely ill patients presenting to hospitals with life-threatening acute respiratory disease. There was an immediate need for effective triage systems to facilitate clinical decision making. This review assesses the performance of the National Early Warning Score 2 (NEWS2) in two contexts. Firstly, the ability to detect acute illness severity and likely clinical deterioration in patients presenting to hospitals with COVID-19. Secondly, the use of NEWS2 in the longitudinal monitoring to detect acute clinical deterioration in hospitalised patients with COVID-19. NEWS2 appeared to be at least comparable and, often, superior to other scoring systems (such as qSOFA and CURB-65), and provided an earlier alert of deterioration. A NEWS2 of 5 had high short-term sensitivity within and was unlikely to miss patients with COVID-19 who go on to deteriorate, but this comes with moderate specificity. However, the specificity of these systems is likely underestimated because preventing deterioration is their purpose.NEWS2 is an adjunct to clinical decision making and has served that purpose during the COVID-19 pandemic, playing an important role in communicating illness severity, clinical deterioration, triaging patients to appropriate levels of care and prompting completion of treatment escalation plans for those with high scores and at imminent risk of deterioration.

    Abstract This year is the 10th anniversary since the launch of the National Early Warning Score (NEWS) by the Royal College of Physicians in 2012. This review reflects on the journey, from the nascent concept of a standardised system to detect acute illness severity and clinical deterioration through to the adoption of NEWS2 by the NHS and, ultimately, its incorporation into quality indicators of acute care provision. The impact of NEWS/NEWS2 on the transformation of provision and configuration and training of acute care teams in hospitals is reviewed. User feedback has been key in iterating guidance on the use of NEWS/NEWS2 and key elements of this are discussed. The ultimate aim of NEWS was to improve patient outcomes with acute illness or deterioration and the impact on outcomes is now becoming apparent but, paradoxically, an effective response can eliminate the link between the score and the ultimate outcome. This review concludes with a reflection on what the next 10 years may bring, particularly with the digital transformation of healthcare and its potential impact on scoring systems, as well as the necessary permeation of NEWS2 beyond the acute hospital setting into emergency response triage in primary and community care settings.Ten years on, via NEWS/NEWS2, the NHS is the first healthcare system globally with a 'common language' of illness severity and a standardised early warning system for acute clinical illness and deterioration, a system that is now being replicated in many other areas of the world.

    Abstract Pediatric high-grade gliomas (pHGG) are a rare yet devastating malignancy of the central nervous system's glial support cells, affecting children, adolescents, and young adults. Tumors of the central nervous system account for the leading cause of pediatric mortality of which high-grade gliomas present a significantly grim prognosis. While the past few decades have seen many pediatric cancers experiencing significant improvements in overall survival, the prospect of survival for patients diagnosed with pHGGs has conversely remained unchanged. This can be attributed in part to tumor heterogeneity and the existence of the blood-brain barrier. Advances in discovery research have substantiated the existence of unique subgroups of pHGGs displaying alternate responses to different therapeutics and varying degrees of overall survival. This highlights a necessity to approach discovery research and clinical management of the disease in an alternative subtype-dependent manner. This review covers traditional approaches to the therapeutic management of pHGGs, limitations of such methods and emerging alternatives. Novel mutations which predominate the pHGG landscape are highlighted and the therapeutic potential of targeting them in a subtype specific manner discussed. Collectively, this provides an insight into issues in need of transformative progress which arise during the management of pHGGs.
