Development and Asian-wide validation of the Grade for Interpretable Field Triage (GIFT) for predicting mortality in pre-hospital patients using the Pan-Asian Trauma Outcomes Study (PATOS).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Field triage is critical in injury patients as the appropriate transport of patients to trauma centers is directly associated with clinical outcomes.
