In the Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT), which has been implemented in most Danish EDs , patient-reported pain is validated by a nurse to ensure that it is neither over nor underreported, resulting in a patient receiving a higher triage priority than warranted or, alternatively, that a patient might be overlooked in the ED. DEPT is used both pre- and in-hospital to differentiate between stable and life-threatening conditions. Triage was done using the Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT).

These Swedish triage scales spread to adjacent countries; a modified Danish version of ADAPT, Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) , and METTS in Norway . The majority of patients in a Danish ED are referred for admission by their general practitioner (GP) or by an out-of-hours GP. An early warning score and an alcohol-withdrawal score were likewise measured regularly in accordance with both local recommendations and. Patients could only participate once but if a nurse participated more than once he/she was included as a new nurse each time, as the aim of the study was to investigate the agreement of DOW-rating in the patient-nurse dyad.

In the last two decades systematic triage or process triage has become the norm in most countries but this approach is supported by limited evidence. Validation of systematic triage is sparse and in this study we compared the systematic triage tool Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) with a quick clinical assessment by inexperienced hospital staff as markers of short-term mortality. 3 DEPT is the most used triage system in Denmark and is similar to other modern triage system. Data was included regarding the dispatch of the ambulance from the emergency services disposition system, ICD-10 hospital admission diagnoses from the National Patient Register, 48-h mortality from the Central Person Register and assessment and treatment in the ambulance by reviewing the. Therefore, the blood level of suPAR might be usable for identification of patients.

Methods The investigation was designed as a prospective cohort study conducted at North Zealand University Hospital. The vitals measured at admission assigns the patient to a triage category, and based upon the clinical appearance of the patients, the triage nurse can adjust the assigned triage category to better reflect the patient. The triage system ranks patients into five colour-coded triage categories. . The use of triage. The severity score is assessed by measuring the patients´ vital parameters (e.

Validation of systematic triage is sparse and in this study we compared the systematic triage tool Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) with a quick clinical assessment by inexperienced hospital staff as markers of. Triage of patients in the Emergency Department includes scoring of vital parameters. These Swedish triage scales spread to adjacent countries; a modified Danish version of ADAPT, Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) [12], and METTS in Norway [13]. TLDR.

Moreover, several studies have demonstrated that combing suPAR with the NEWS or the Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) improved its predictive ability for mortality (Rasmussen et al. , 2018.
