ABSTRACT
Abstract Objective:
To evaluate the validity of the computerized version of the pediatric triage system CLARIPED.Methods:
Prospective, observational study in a tertiary emergency department (ED) from Jan-2018 to Jan-2019. A convenience sample of patients aged 0-18 years who had computerized triage and outcome variables registered. Construct validity was assessed through the association between urgency levels and patient outcomes. Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values (PPVand NPV), undertriage, and overtriage rates were assessed.Results:
19,122 of 38,321 visits were analyzed. The urgency levels were RED (emergency) 0.02%, ORANGE (high urgency) 3.21%, YELLOW (urgency) 35.69%, GREEN (low urgency) 58.46%, and BLUE (no urgency) 2.62%. The following outcomes increased according to the increase in the level of urgency hospital admission (0.4%, 0.6%, 3.1%, 11.9% and 25%), stay in the ED observation room (2.8%, 4.7%, 15.9%, 40.4%, 50%), ≥ 2 diagnostic or therapeutic resources (7.8%, 16.5%, 33.7%, 60.6%, 75%), and ED length of stay in minutes (18, 24, 67,120, 260). The odds of using ≥ 2 resources or being hospitalized were significantly greater in the most urgent patients (Red, Orange, and Yellow) compared to the least urgent (Green and Blue) OR 7.88 (95%CI 5.35-11.6) and OR 2.85 (95%CI 2.63-3.09), respectively. The sensitivity to identify urgency was 0.82 (95%CI 0.77-0.85); specificity, 0.62 (95%CI 0.61-0.6; NPV, 0.99 (95%CI 0.99-1.00); overtriage rate, 4.28% and undertriage, 18.41%.Conclusion:
The computerized version of CLARIPED is a valid and safe pediatric triage system, with a significant correlation with clinical outcomes, good sensitivity, and low undertriage rate.
