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. The prognostic value of suPAR was compared to the prognostic value of triage category based on the information from the systematic triage tool, Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) in prediction of 30-days mortality. RETTS-A was not developed to be utilised as a sys-The investigators has developed a novel evidence-based triage algorithm with integrated individual clinical assesment. The triage system ranks patients into five colour-coded triage categories. They were included at first contact within the study. Furthermore, a new, simplified triage algorithm has been. 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). Danish health. In Sweden, METTS subsequently became the Rapid Emergency Tri-Iversen et al. [Google Scholar] 28. Systemet inddrager i højere grad end tidligere sygeplejerskers kliniske vurdering, som i kombination med en algoritme, der tager udgangspunkt i patientens vitalparametre, er grundlaget for den rækkefølge. 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. All patients triaged with one chief complaint using the Danish Emergency Process Triage system were included. The Copenhagen Triage Algorithm (CTA) is a simplified triage system with a clinical assessment. EWSs (National Early Warning Score 2 [NEWS2], modified NEWS score without temperature [mNEWS], Quick Sepsis Related Organ Failure Assessment [qSOFA], Rapid Emergency Triage and Treatment System [RETTS], and Danish Emergency Process Triage [DEPT]) were calculated using first vital signs measured by ambulance personnel. We found that triage was used at 75% (n = 15) of the EDs; among these only 53% (n = 8/15) triaged all patients. When do you expect to come to the ED?”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. The triage categories are red, orange, yellow, green and blue. Triage is the variable defining a maximum time limit for medical assessment, and the Danish Emergency Process Triage system 23, 24, 25 (Table 1) is the priority tool used to triage patients. The. cess Triage (ADAPT) and the Medical Emergency Triage and Treatment System (METTS) [11]. formalised triage in 2009 and since 2011 Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT)3 has been the triage standard. We would like to show you a description here but the site won’t allow us. roviders and ED nurses, when using Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) correctly? (b) Which part of the triage process yields the highest agreement regarding the final triage? Methods The study was a prospective and observational efficacy study. In the Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT), which has been implemented in most Danish EDs [9], patient-reported pain is validated by a nurse to ensure that it is neither over nor underreported. Participants. The five-level Danish triage manual resembles the Manchester triage manual [19, 20]. His triage category is green. The purpose has been to identify critically ill patients and thereby reduce the waiting time for initial assessment and treatment. Patient triaged at the highest and lowest triage level as per the Danish Emergency Process Triage were excluded. triage system used was a Danish adaptation of the Swedish triage system, ADAPT. patient, di erent HCPs are involved, and discharge planning. The use of triage in Danish emergency departments. 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]. 23 The highest triage level is received care in trauma room and not expected to be discharged within 24 hours. In the Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT), which has been implemented in most Danish EDs [9], patient-reported pain is validated by a nurse to ensure that it is neither over nor underreported. All patients triaged with one chief complaint using the Danish Emergency Process Triage system were included. In a prospective observational Danish study, investigators compared standardized assessment by trained nurses using the Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) with gestalt assessment by medical students or phlebotomists with no training in patient evaluation. A former study three years ago in our department showed variations in the triage evaluation between nurses with a kappa value at 0. Material and methods: We performed a cross-sectional study on triage at all EDs in the 20 Danish hospitals that have been designated for emergency care. All patients triaged with one chief complaint using the Danish Emergency Process Triage system were included. Methods The investigation was designed as a prospective cohort study conducted at North Zealand University Hospital. Abstract. poster at the Danish Emergency Medicine Conference, Odense, Denmark, 20-21 November. Die Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) ist das derzeit häufigste in Dänemark verwendete Ersteinschätzungssystem und ist der kanadischen CTAS sehr ähnlich. Methods The trial was a non-inferiority, two-center cluster-randomized crossover study where CTA was compared to a local. 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 ]. Most ED’s use a slightly modified ver-sion of ADAPT called Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT) [11–14]. 2011 Oct;58(10):A4301. The objectives were as follows: (a) What is the agreement of triage between prehospital providers and ED nurses, when using Danish Emergency. 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. In most emergency departments (ED) around the world, patients are initially assessed using a triage system or risk stratification tools. TABLE 1 Schematic depiction of specialty categorization by teams and Danish Emergency Process Triage. Full triage was applied in 77. 24 25. Most. 18-19 April 2013. Included in the analysis were 6290 patients seen in the ED from September 2013 through December 2013, all of whom were evaluated using both a formalized triage process (the Danish Emergency. The formation and design of the 'Acute Admission Database'- a database including a prospective, observational cohort of 6279 patients triaged in the emergency department in a larger Danish hospital. Soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) is a prognostic and nonspecific biomarker associated with short-term mortality in emergency department (ED) patients. BackgroundCrowding in the emergency department (ED) is a well-known problem resulting in an increased risk of adverse outcomes. This study was part of a prospective cohort study carried out at Hillerød University Hospital (TRIAGE-study). All emergency departments in Central Denmark Region use the tool Danish Emergency Process Triage system (DEPT). Europe PMC. Studies of the Danish emergency process triage (DEPT), the Canadian triage and acuity scale (CTAS), and the emergency severity index (ESI) have reported only moderate agreement between EMS clinicians and ED nurses when utilising identical triage systems [13– 15].
