An early warn-ing score and an alcohol-withdrawal score were likewise measured regularly in accordance with both local recommendations and the patient’s clinical con-dition. These Swedish triage scales spread to adjacent countries; a modified Danish version of ADAPT, Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) , and METTS in Norway . Oct 17, 2018, 10:59 pm. The need to prioritize these patients is stressed by the considerable demand for. In 60% (n = 9/15) of the hospitals using triage, the triage system had been introduced in 2009 or 2010. . Agreement between formalized triage assessment and simple clinical assessment was poor. I DEPT tager man afsæt i anerkendte internationale triage-modeller, der er modificeret til danske forhold. The aim of this study was to validate and compare two 5-level triage systems used in Danish emergency departments: “Danish Emergency Process Triage” (DEPT) based on a combination of vital. , 2010). e.

In addition, the same nurse registered the patient. Further research has shown that morbidity can be predicted with computerized algorithms based on both clinical markers and physicians’ DSR even in ED patients with nonspecific complaints [ 8 ]. Another study found that DSR from phlebotomists can outperform the Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) in predicting mortality . In 70. Background The Danish Regions Pediatric Triage model (DRPT) was introduced in 2012 and subsequent implemented in most Danish acute pediatric departments. 3 DEPT is the most used triage system in Denmark and is similar to other modern triage system. Adaptive process triage (ADAPT) was the most frequently used validated triage system (25% (n = 5)), while 40%. Methods: The Copenhagen Triage Algorithm (CTA) study is a prospective two-center, cluster-randomized, cross-over, non-inferiority trial comparing CTA to the Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT). Soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) is a prognostic and nonspecific biomarker associated with short-term mortality in emergency department (ED) patients. In our patients, perhaps surprisingly, ongoing pain was thus a marker for better prognosis. All patients triaged with one chief complaint using the Danish Emergency Process Triage system were included. 16 They reported that what they referred to as ‘eyeball triage’, that is, clinicians’ triage decisions in our study, was superior to formalised triage using the Danish Emergency Process Triage. DEPT consists of a combined assessment of vital signs and symptoms and classifies patients into categories: Red (highest risk of death the next 7 days), Orange, YellowThe aim of this study was to validate and compare two 5-level triage systems used in Danish emergency departments: “Danish Emergency Process Triage” (DEPT) based on a combination of vital. All patient visits to the ED. Triage algorithms are used worldwide to risk assess and prioritize patients in the Emergency Departments.
