Aim The aim of this study is to evaluate the ability of soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) and modified suPAR with National Early Warning Score (NEWS) for detecting mortality in elderly emergency patients who are older than 70 years.

Discrimination was assessed by plotting the receiver‐operating characteristic curve and calculating the area under the receiver‐operating characteristic curve (AUC). Results During the study period, 47 eligible older patients were included, among which 8 (17.0%) patients died. The median suPAR was significantly lower in the survivor's group than in the nonsurvivor's group (P |
