A Prehospital Triage System to Detect Traumatic Intracranial Hemorrhage Using Machine Learning Algorithms.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

An adequate system for triaging patients with head trauma in prehospital settings and choosing optimal medical institutions is essential for improving the prognosis of these patients. To our knowledge, there has been no established way to stratify these patients based on their head trauma severity that can be used by ambulance crews at an injury site.

Objectives

To develop a prehospital triage system to stratify patients with head trauma according to trauma severity by using several machine learning techniques and to evaluate the predictive accuracy of these techniques.

Design, setting, and participants

This single-center retrospective cohort study was conducted by reviewing the electronic medical records of consecutive patients who were transported to Toky
