Predicts the risk of in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) within 24 hours of vital sign measurement in hospitalized, non-ICU patients. CART uses 4 readily available clinical variables to identify ward patients at high risk for deterioration requiring rapid response or ICU transfer. Can be used as an adjunct to early warning score systems.
