Actual (reported)Emergency Department Triage Systems have not been shown to sufficiently recognize frail elderly patients in need of urgent assessment and care. In this prospective, observational study the performance of the 3-level triage system and the National Early Warning Score (NEWS) 2 are assessed (separately and combined) for predicting adverse outcomes in older frailty patients visiting in the ED. Observational data for this study is gathered as part of GAOPS - main study (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03751319).
