To evaluate the accuracy of triage evaluation, we compared the presence of the outcome between patients with a low vs. a high triage priority code, using contingency tables and a chi-square test; in this regard, to assess the triage diagnostic yield for cardiac syncope and APDs, we compared patients with a low (white, green, and blue) vs. a high (orange and red) triage priority code in terms of clinical severity, while to assess the triage diagnostic yield for syncope requiring admission, we compared patients with a low (that is white and green) vs. a high (that is green, orange and red) care complexity triage priority code, according to regional guidelines.3 To explore how to improve the accuracy of the triage assessment, we compared patients with and without the outcomes considered, with regard to personal data, medical history (previous syncopal episodes and heart diseases), triage priority code, and clinical features of the syncopal episode (presence of witnesses, prodromal symptoms, injuries), using contingency tables and a chi- square test.	cache/ecj-13459.pdf	txt/ecj-13459.txt
