1. What is EWS Relative Value?

The EWS (Early Warning Score) Relative Value calculation normalizes a score within a defined range, expressing it as a percentage between the minimum and maximum possible values.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the EWS Relative Value formula:

\[ RV = \frac{(Score - Min)}{(Max - Min)} \times 100 \]

Where:

\( Score \) — The actual score value
\( Min \) — Minimum possible score value
\( Max \) — Maximum possible score value

Explanation: The formula calculates how far the score is between the minimum and maximum values, expressed as a percentage.

3. Importance of RV Calculation

Details: The relative value helps standardize scores across different scales, making it easier to compare performance or status when different scoring systems are used.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the actual score, minimum possible value, and maximum possible value. All values must be numeric, and Max should not equal Min.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What does a RV of 0% mean?
A: A RV of 0% means the score is equal to the minimum value in the range.

Q2: What does a RV of 100% mean?
A: A RV of 100% means the score is equal to the maximum value in the range.

Q3: Can RV be negative or over 100%?
A: Yes, if the score is below the minimum or above the maximum, RV will be negative or over 100% respectively.

Q4: When is this calculation most useful?
A: This is particularly useful when comparing normalized performance across different measurement scales.

Q5: What if my max and min values are the same?
A: The calculation is undefined when max equals min (division by zero). Ensure your range has different min and max values.
