32 Treat-and-release EMS patients in the north denmark region: identification and vital signs

Conclusion Treat-and-leave patients constituted 15.3% of all emergency ambulances, and the documentation of civil registration number was poor. Vital signs and/or GCS were documented in less than half of the patients, only partly explained by including death on scene.
