Summary

Accurate trauma diagnosis depends on timely, high-level trauma response to reduce preventable deaths. This multicenter retrospective study compared two existing triage standards with a novel registry-based tool. This analysis of 158,696 records finds that the new method offers a streamlined, data-driven way to calculate undertriage rates and identify patients who may have benefited from full trauma team activation.
