 This study compared the triage results of pediatric patients visiting an emergency department, ED, via emergency medical service providers, EMSP, with those of adult patients. The authors found that direct medical control was more often used for adult patients, while critical patients were more commonly seen in adults than in children. Additionally, the degree of agreement between the pre-hospital and hospital stages was lower for pediatric patients than it was for adult patients. This suggests that special attention should be paid to pediatric triage in a pre-hospital setting. This article was authored by Kayong Jay Lee, Mi Hyun Park, Ju Hyun Soo, and others.
