Major Trauma Triage Study (MATTS): Diagnostic accuracy of major trauma triage tools in English regional trauma networks – A case-cohort study

Four optimal triage tools, demonstrating a trade-off between sensitivity and specificity, were identified by this validation study. The choice of ideal tool will depend on prevalence of major trauma, and valuation of false positive and false negative cases. Further prospective investigation of real-life triage tool performance, including compliance and clinical judgment, is necessary.
