Advanced triage to redirect non-urgent Emergency Department visits to alternative care centers: the PERSEE algorithm.

Objectives: Primary care treatable visits in the Emergency Department (ED) are part of the different factors leading to the overcrowding. Their triage and diversion to alternative care centers could potentially help manage the increasing inflow provided the establishment of an advanced triage to ensure patients' safety. We aim to suggest a new triage tool, PERSEE, and prove its feasibility, safety and performance.

Immersion in an emergency department triage center during the Covid-19 outbreak: first report of the Liège University hospital experience.

Objectives: Since the beginning of the novel coronavirus outbreak, different strategies have been explored to stem the spread of the disease and appropriately manage patient flow. Triage, an effective solution proposed in disaster medicine, also works well to manage Emergency Department (ED) flow. The aim of this study was to describe the role of an ED Triage Center for patients with suspected novel coronavirus disease (Covid-19) and characterize the patient flow.

Impact of a prehospital discrimination between trauma patients with or without early acute coagulopathy of trauma and the need for damage control resuscitation: rationale and design of a multicenter randomized phase II trial.

Background: The evidence of the Trauma Induced Coagulopathy Clinical Score (TICCS) accuracy has been evaluated in several studies but the potential effect of its use on patient outcomes needs to be evaluated. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the impact on mortality of a prehospital discrimination between trauma patients with or without a potential need for damage control resuscitation.

Methods: The trial will be designed as randomized phase II clinical trial with comparison of the experimental protocol against the standard of care.

Effects of twelve weeks of aerobic or strength training in addition to standard care in Parkinson's disease: a controlled study.

Background: Physical exercise in addition to standard care (SC) in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) is now a common practice in many care units. However, exercises can cover a wide range of interventions, and the specific effects of different interventions still deserve to be further investigated.

Aim: The aim of this study was to compare the effects of 12 weeks of two different types of physical exercises with SC in patients suffering from PD.
