Purpose: The study aimed to develop an objectified Korean Triage and Acuity Scale (OTAS) that can objectively and quickly classifyseverity, as well as a simple age-adjusted OTAS (S-OTAS) that reflects age and evaluate its usefulness. Materials and Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed of all adult patients who had visited the emergency departmentat three teaching hospitals. Sex, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate, respiratory rate, body temperature,O2 saturation, and consciousness level were collected from medical records. The OTAS was developed with objective criterionand minimal OTAS level, and S-OTAS was developed by adding the age variable. For usefulness evaluation, the 30-day mortality,the rates of computed tomography scan and emergency procedures were compared between Korean Triage and Acuity Scale(KTAS) and OTAS. Results: A total of 44402 patients were analyzed. For 30-day mortality, S-OTAS showed a higher area under the curve (AUC) comparedto KTAS (0.751 vs. 0.812 for KTAS and S-OTAS, respectively, p<0.001). Regarding the rates of emergency procedures, AUCwas significantly higher in S-OTAS, compared to KTAS (0.807 vs. 0.830, for KTAS and S-OTAS, respectively, p=0.013). Conclusion: S-OTAS showed comparative usefulness for adult patients visiting the emergency department as a triage tool comparedto KTAS.
