Abstract

This aim of this observational study is to investigate how the recently introduced National Early Warning Score (ViEWS) applied in the prehospital setting (Ph-ViEWS) compares with the Manchester Triage System (MTS) used in most Emergency Departments (ED) in Ireland. 386 patients fitted the inclusion criteria of which 272 (69 %) had a complete set of values. Of 272 MTS 1&2 patients only 114 (42%) had a Ph-ViEWS ≥7. This study found that a substantial number of patients deemed urgent at the time of triage do not have elevated Ph-ViEWS.
