I de fleste akutmodtagelser i Danmark anvendes Danish Emergency Process Triage (DEPT), som er en model, der udspringer af andre nordiske triagemodeller og nu er udviklet og tilpasset forholdene. 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.

The use of triage in Danish emergency departments. This study explores the effects of introducing a five-level process triage system in a Danish ED by conducting semi-structured qualitative interviews with 15 emergency nurses. INTRODUCTION The emergency departments (EDs) handle approximately 1,000,000 contacts annually. Most emergency departments (ED) use risk scoring systems to perform triage, [1, 2] and widely used conventional triage algorithms are 5-level scales relying on measurements of vital signs and the presenting complaint [1, 2]. The Copenhagen Triage Algorithm study is a prospective two-center, cluster-randomized, cross-over, non-inferiority trial comparing CTA to the Danish Emergency. However, the national implementation has been performed despite low scientific foundation for triage as a method, mainly related to the absence of adjustment to. a) General maps by which all patients are assessed b) 53 specific contact cause cards, which cover the majority of the reason for patients contacting Danish emergency department. In most emergency departments (ED) around the world, patients are initially assessed using a triage system or risk stratification tools. cess Triage (ADAPT) and the Medical Emergency Triage and Treatment System (METTS) [11]. Different scales and algorithms are used in triage, so it is essential to clearly communicate the acuity categories assigned to patients. While the participants were hospitalized, they were triaged as part of the medical procedures by the Danish Emergency Process Triage to determine treatment urgency (Nordberg et al. Triage systems are essential in a modern emergency department (ED). More than a million patients are referred to and seen in Danish EDs each year [ 1 ]. Soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) is a prognostic and nonspecific biomarker associated with short-term mortality in emergency department (ED) patients. Most triage models have been developed on the basis of expert opinion and they are not based on data from large prospective cohorts [15]. ) samt henvendelsesårsag (kontaktårsagskort). Triage and triage related work has been performed in Swedish Emergency Departments (EDs) since the mid-1990s. Eligible patients were all adult acute patients (≥18 years) arriving to the ED within the study period. Multiple logistic regression was used to predict the primary endpoint, 30-day mortality. They studied a general ED population and not only trauma. Table 1 shows the five-level Danish Emergency Proces Triage (DEPT) used in the ED, patients are categorised into five triage levels based on vital signs and a presenting complaint algorithm .

All patients triaged with one chief complaint using the Danish Emergency Process Triage system were included. Adaptive process triage (ADAPT) was the most frequently used validated triage system (25% (n = 5)), while 40%. 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. number of nurses on duty according to the duty roster and number of available beds). 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. København: Sundhedsstyrelsen, 2014:1-70. In our patients, perhaps surprisingly, ongoing pain was thus a marker for better prognosis.

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. This study was part of a prospective cohort study carried out at Hillerød University Hospital (TRIAGE-study). This study was designed as a single-centre, non-inferiority, open-label, randomized controlled trial.
