Abstract
Among 6 disaster triage methods compared against actual outcomes in trauma registry patients, the Sacco Score predicted mortality most accurately. This analysis highlighted comparative strengths and weakness of START, FDNY, CareFlight, and Sacco, suggesting areas in which each might be improved. The GCS predicted outcomes similarly to dedicated disaster triage strategies.
