Properly constructed plans for the delivery of critical care during an influenza pandemic must include the ability to deal with excessive demand, high and possibly extreme mortality, and the risk to the health of critical care staff. A number of intensive care scoring systems have demonstrated their power in using physiological derangement to predict mortality or higher resource requirements, whatever the presenting diagnosis [45] [46] [47] [48] [49] . Physiological scores have also been demonstrated to be good predictors of requirement for higher level care on hospital wards [50] , in medical assessment units [51, 52] and in the Emergency Department [53] .	./cache/cord-048449-mzn448zk.txt	./txt/cord-048449-mzn448zk.txt
