System and method for automatic detection of clinical deterioration events

The present disclosure relates to a clinical support system and associated method for automatic real-time detection of clinical deterioration events in a patient. Existing clinical support systems typically rely on alarm generation based on simple threshold values. This often results in too many alarms, including false alarms, which 5consequently results in alarm fatigue in the medical staff or in the ignorance of the alarms. The presently disclosed system and method provides an improved alternative to existing clinical support systems, since it incorporates clinically validated computer-implemented subroutines that provides a higher predictive value to the medical staff. The subroutines utilizes thresholds and time durations, which have been clinically10evaluated such that false alarms are reduced while keeping the most relevant alarms, i.e. alarms that require clinical action. The present disclosure further relates to a computer program configured to execute the disclosed method, thereby providing automatic real-time detection of clinical deterioration events in a patient.</p
