    Citation Excerpt :

    Research on triage systems is important, both to understand the performance of currently used systems and to enable the evaluation of modifications for improvement. Nevertheless, despite the almost universal application of triage systems at the emergency departments, studies about their performance to correctly discriminate between high- and low-urgency patients are limited and hampered by methodological limitations [4–6]. Triage systems can be considered a specific type of prediction model, and their evaluation can be approached accordingly.
