NCT ID NCT07490145

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study aims to see if updated criteria for activating trauma teams can reduce mistakes—either calling a team when not needed (over-triage) or missing a serious case (under-triage). Researchers will compare data from 5,000 trauma patients before and after the new rules were put in place. The goal is to improve emergency care and make sure the sickest patients get rapid, appropriate treatment.
