Validation of the Glasgow Admission Prediction Score in a Japanese Emergency Setting.

Introduction

The Glasgow Admission Prediction Score (GAPS) is a triage tool that was developed in the United Kingdom to predict hospital admission based on available patient data upon arrival at emergency departments (EDs). Despite being associated with length of hospital stay, 6-month mortality, and readmission, its validity has only been assessed in the UK. Its generalizability therefore remains unclear.
