Résumé
Although paediatric patients with gastrointestinal (GI) foreign bodies require multiple resources, they often present with few or no discernible symptoms and are typically assigned a low acuity level during triage. We compared the predictive accuracy of the revised Korean Triage and Acuity Scale (rKTAS), which elevates acuity by one step in relation to anticipated resource utilization, with that of the conventional KTAS for clinical outcomes. This was a retrospective study of National Emergency Department Information System data. Data on patient and ED characteristics, resources used, and clinical outcomes were collected from January 2018 to December 2021 for patients with GI foreign bodies aged under 19. The primary outcome was rKTAS accuracy in predicting hospitalization, ICU admission, operating room (OR) use, and ED length of stay (EDLOS). The AUROC was used to evaluate the performance via of the KTAS and rKTAS. In total, 25,324 paediatric patients visited the ED for GI tract foreign bodies. The mean age was 3.8 years, and 51% (12,923) were between 1 and 4 year old. Although most (23,658; 93.4%) were discharged, 4.9% required hospitalization. Two or more resources were utilized in 2514 (9.9%) cases, and 3,514 individuals had their triage levels increased by one step. Compared with those of the KTAS, the AUROCs of the rKTAS for predicting overall hospitalization (p < 0.05), admission to general wards (p < 0.05), ICU admission (p = 0.01), and admission via the OR (p < 0.05)were higher than KTAS. Compared with that with the KTAS, the EDLOS with the rKTAS was longer at levels 1, 2, and 3. The adjusted rKTAS is a better predictor of clinical outcomes for paediatric patients with GI tract foreign bodies than the KTAS.
