Objective: To evaluate the factors associated with clinical deterioration in patients admitted to the ICU. Method: Observational, quantitative study, carried out in 120 medical records of patients admitted between July and October 2023. For data collection, a sociodemographic and clinical characterization instrument and the NEWS 2 Scale were used. Statistical tests and a logistic regression model were applied, considering associations with p<0.05 as significant. Results: Factors such as advanced age (OR=6.9; 95%CI 1.78-26.7), cancer (OR=2.52; 95%CI 0.98-6.43), clinical hospitalization (OR=4.08; 95%CI 1.39-11.95), and death (OR=16.42; 95%CI 2.13-126.7) were associated with high NEWS 2 scores. Conclusion: Elderly patients, those diagnosed with cancer, and those hospitalized for clinical reasons have a higher risk of clinical deterioration in the ICU. The clinical outcome of death was more frequent among patients with high NEWS 2 scores
