Background: The role played by large-scale repetitive SARS-CoV-2 screening programs within university populations interacting continuously with an urban environment, is unknown. Our objective was to develop a model capable of predicting the dispersion of viral contamination among university populations dividing their time between social and academic environments.
Methods: Data was collected through real, large-scale testing developed at the University of Liège, Belgium, during the period Sept.
Article Synopsis
- * Over a 5-year study, 10,207 calls were analyzed, with 85.5% of triages deemed appropriate, revealing a 14.5% overtriage rate and 96.9% accuracy in the more critical PCPH/PCPD categories.
- * The results support that the SALOMON tool has strong reliability and can enhance the efficiency of primary care during high-demand periods.
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.

While mitigating unnecessary crowding in hospitals is favourable to reduce viral transmission, it is more important to prevent readmissions with impaired clinical status due to initially inappropriate level of care. A validated predictive tool to assist clinical decisions for patient triage and facilitate remote stratification is of critical importance.

The development of decision support tools for real-time clinical diagnosis of COVID-19 is of prime importance to assist patients' triage and allocate resources for patients at risk.
Methods And Principal Findings: From March 2 to June 15, 2020, clinical patterns of COVID-19 suspected patients at admission to the EDs of Liège University Hospital, consisting in the recording of eleven symptoms (i.
