Abstract

Background and Objective: Triage is the most important and the first stage of patient’s management at the time of arrival to hospital emergency department. EMERGENCY SEVERITY INDEX (ESI) is a common triage system worldwide. This study was aimed to evaluate the accuracy of ESI in emergency department of Imam Hossein hospital in Tehran, Iran.Materials and Methods: In this descriptive study the result of patients’ triage based on ESI were gathered for all patients referred to emergency department of Imam Hossein Hospital from January to April 2011. A questioner was filled for each patient by the NURSE and a emergency specialist independently. The l index was applied to compare the NURSE observation with the specialist CLINICIAN. The STATA-11.0 statistical software and roctab table were used to determine the validity, specificity and sensivity of triage. Data were analyzed using Chi-Square and Fisher tests.Results: The calculated l for the degree of agreement of triage between NURSE and CLINICIAN was 81% (95% CI: 0.79-0.83). The sensivity of triage for step I, II, III, IV and V were 100%, 53.25%, 90.7%, 67.1% and 98% respectively. The specificity of triage for step I, II, III, IV and V were 99.8%, 97.5%, 93.7%, 98.3% and 94% respectively. There was a significant overlapping between the triage step and the patient clinical outcome.Conclusion: This study showed that five steps triage contain a high accuracy and estimation of patient outcomes.
