Abnormal vital signs are strong predictors for intensive care unit admission and in-hospital mortality in adults triaged in the emergency department - a prospective cohort study

Table 5 Agreement between T_vitals and T_complaint

T_vitals: Triage category determined by vital signs
T_complaint: Triage category determined by presenting complaint algorithm
The table illustrates complete cases, i.e. where both T_vitals and T_complaint were colour coded. A total of 1342 (21%) patients did have a presenting complaint assigned, but no colour coding due to insufficient information. T_complaint was missing in 370 (5.9%) patients, while T_vitals were missing in 118 (1.9%) patients.
