Two studies concerning a paediatric population found that children with a high triage level were more likely to return unscheduled [[14],[16]], while in a study concerning a mixed population, returning patients had low triage levels [[11]].
When studied in the logistic regression model, prehospital responses involving an anaesthetist had a higher overall triage precision with reduced risk for undertriage as well as overtriage.
The higher triage score, at most hospitals, would he said have triggered tests that would have shown signs of serious illness in Dhu, starting with a chest x-ray.
Appropriate visits were significantly more seen in female patients, elderly and higher triage categories.
Appropriate visits were significantly more seen in females, elderly, and patients in higher triage categories.
Conversely, in 57 cases (5.2%) PT nurses assessed patients less critically giving higher triage levels.
Firstly, the higher triage categories received more frequent analgesia (OR for the highest triage category = 3.98, 95 % CI 2.86 5.54, in which the lowest triage category is the reference category).
However, the higher triage accuracy recorded at the end of day 3 in VR could be explained by a lower stress level compared to the LS, which could be creating a more stressful environment in taught students.
The intervention group had higher Triage Risk Screening Tool (TRST) scores (34.3% vs 25.4% TRST ≥3, p = 0.01) and lower baseline Instrumental Activity of Daily Living (IADL) scores (22.84 vs 24.18, p < 0.01).
The Clinical Excellence Commission CECC) Sepsis Toolkit (2013) 10 states to 'use a high Australasian Triage Score (Category 1 or 2) to reflect the seriousness of the severe sepsis patients' condition and commencement on the sepsis pathway'.
