Performance of the Dutch Triage standard in managing fever in children in out-of-hours primary care: a secondary analysis of the chili study
Listen to this summary
This study investigates the effectiveness of the Dutch Triage Standard (NTS) in assessing urgency and guiding management decisions for febrile children in out-of-hours primary care. The authors analyze the agreement between pre-consultation urgency classifications and post-consultation outcomes, finding that higher urgency classifications correlate with increased referral rates, yet many consultations are classified as low urgency, indicating a potential inefficiency in triage practices. The results suggest a need for improved triage methods to better allocate resources and reduce unnecessary consultations.
