Application of the EMS triage algorithm in our trauma patients and the impact on the overall overtriage and undertriage
| Met the EMS algorithm criteria | Did not meet the EMS algorithm criteria | Overtriage (O) | Undertriage (U) | |
| ISS≤15 | n1=1036 | n2=1208 | O=n1/ntotal=1036/2320=44.6% | U=n4/ntotal=1/2320=0% |
| ISS>15 | n3=75 | n4=1 | ||
| LOS≤48 hours and non-operative management and final outcome: hospital discharge | n1=923 | n2=1181 | O=n1/ntotal=39.7% | U=n4/ntotal=28/2320=1.2% |
| LOS≥48 hours or operative management or final outcome: death | n3=188 | n4=28 |
