Description
Louise Deshayes and colleagues wrote a 2026 article on triage, the sorting of patients by how urgent their care is. They tested a changed version of the South African Triage Scale for use before hospital, in one Swedish region. They also asked whether nurse experience changed the scores.
Thirty-four nurses each scored 30 written patient cases, giving 1,010 ratings in all. Agreement between nurses was poor, with full agreement in only three cases. Nurses often raised the urgency level by hand, in 25 of the 30 cases. Sex, years of service, and extra training showed no link to scores. The authors urge careful testing of changed triage tools.
