Classi cation of the CAT activations and false arrests, (% (n/N)). Table 3. Demographics Urgent false arrests Less urgent false arrests P-value Age in years, median (IQR) 67 (50-76) 62 (45-71) 0.085 a Sex, male, % (n/N) 44 (20/46) 66 (40/61) 0.023 b Died during hospital admission, % (n/N) 13 (6/46) 8 (5/61) 0.414 b a Mann-Witney U test b Chi-square test IQR: interquartile range DISCUSSION This study shows that in 26% of the calls, the CAT was activated for FAs. These ndings are comparable with previous studies about FAs. 11-13 Nearly 60% of the FAs identi ed were classi ed as ‘less urgent calls’. Immediate attendance of the larger CAT might not be required for the less urgent calls and the smaller RRT could be activated instead. RRTs have fewer team members than CATs, thus fewer emergency team members are mobilized. RRTs are especially developed to intervene in an earlier stage of clinical deterioration. 3,7
