目的评估南非分诊量表（SATS）在无国界医生组织（MSF）支持的阿富汗、海地和塞拉利昂4个急诊科（艾德、2个创伤中心、1个医疗和创伤混合中心和1个儿科中心）的有效性。通过比较患者的SATS评分与他们最终的艾德结局（即入院、死亡或出院）来评估有效性。结果在两种创伤环境中，SATS显示出良好的有效性：它准确地预测了随着急性程度的增加，死亡和住院的可能性增加（P
Objective To assess the validity of the South African Triage Scale (SATS) in four Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF)-supported emergency departments (ED, two trauma-only sites, one mixed site (both medical and trauma cases) and one paediatric-only site) in Afghanistan, Haiti and Sierra Leone.Methods This was a retrospective cohort study conducted between June 2013 and June 2014. Validity was assessed by comparing patients' SATS ratings with their final ED outcome (ie, hospital admission, death or discharge).Results In the two trauma settings, the SATS demonstrated good validity: it accurately predicted an increase in the likelihood of mortality and hospitalisation across incremental acuity levels (p
