Comparison of START and SALT triage methodologies to reference standard definitions and to a field mass casualty simulation.

CONCLUSIONS: In our study, the SALT triage system was overall more accurate triage method than START at classi-fying patients, specifically in the delayed and immediate categories. In our field exercise, paramedic use of the START methodology yielded a higher rate of undertriage compared to the SALT classification. PMID: 28822212 [PubMed - in process]
