The global advancement of triage scales in the past two decades has generated considerable research on the validity and reliability of these scales. This systematic review aims to investigate the scientific evidence for published ED triage scales. The following questions are addressed 1. Does assessment of individual vital signs or chief complaints affect mortality during the hospital stay or within 30 days after arrival at the ED 2. What is the level of agreement between clinicians triage decisions compared to each other or to a gold standard for each scale reliability 3.

Inclusion was limited to controlled studies of adult patients 15 years visiting EDs for somatic reasons. Outcome variables were death in ED or hospital and need for hospitalization validity . Methodological quality and clinical relevance of each study were rated as high medium or low. The results from the studies that met the inclusion criteria and quality standards were synthesized applying the internationally developed GRADE system. Each .
