Article Synopsis
- The TRIAGE study aims to improve emergency department (ED) protocols by identifying low-risk patients suitable for early discharge using new inflammatory biomarkers and vital signs, addressing the issue of patient crowding.
- Researchers collected extensive data on over 6,000 patients, focusing on demographics, triage levels (from non-urgent to resuscitation), and clinical events during their stays.
- Findings indicate that a significant portion of patients were classified as low urgency (green), with a notable percentage experiencing no major events during their hospital visits, suggesting potential for improving discharge processes.
