AIM: To evaluate the performance of the specific French Vittel "Pre-Hospital (PH) resuscitation" criteria in selecting @entity1230 @entity1 during the pre-hospital stage and its potential to increase the positive predictive value ( @entity2286 ) of pre-hospital @entity130 triage. METHODS: This was a monocentric prospective cohort study of injured adults transported by emergency medical service to a @entity130 center. @entity1 who met any of the field @entity130 triage criteria were considered "triage positive". Hospital data was statistically linked to pre-hospital records. The primary outcome of defining a "major @entity130 @entity1 " was Injury Severity Score (ISS) > 16. RESULTS: There were a total of 200 injured @entity1 evaluated over a 2 years period who met at least 1 triage criterion. The number of false positives was 64 @entity1 (ISS < 16). The @entity2286 was 68%. The sensitivity and the negative predictive value could not be evaluated in this study since it only included @entity1 with positive Vittel criteria. The criterion of "PH resuscitation" was present for 64 @entity1 (32%), but 10 of them had an ISS < 16. This was statistically significant in correlation with the severity of the @entity130 in univariate analysis (OR = 7.2; P = 0.005; 95%CI: 1.6-31.6). However, despite this correlation the overall @entity2286 was not significantly increased by the use of the criterion "PH resuscitation" (68% vs 67.8%). CONCLUSION: The criterion of "pre-hospital resuscitation" was statistically significant with the severity of the @entity130 , but did not increase the @entity2286 . The use of "pre-hospital resuscitation" criterion could be re-considered if these results are confirmed by larger studies.

French pre-hospital XXXX triage criteria: Does the "pre-hospital resuscitation" criterion provide additional benefit in triage?
