Rapid response team diagnoses: frequencies and related hospital mortality.

CONCLUSIONS: The RRT activation trigger provides only a general indication of the diagnosis. Some problems appear preventable and could provide a focus for unit-based quality initiatives. The mortality of some diagnoses is substantial, and this may help in setting treatment goals, but more work is needed to understand the association of RRT diagnosis and outcome.
