Effect of In-Situation Versus Manchester Triage System-Based Initial Case Management on Hospital-Based Mortality: A
1Department of Pediatrics, King George's Medical University, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, 226003, India.
Objective:
To compare mortality and treatment-initiation time pre- and post introduction of Manchester Triage System (MTS) in patients of age group 1 mo to 15 y admitted in a tertiary care hospital in India.
Methods:
Pre- and post intervention study conducted on a prospective cohort of patients hospitalized over a period of 6 mo, who were triaged using MTS and compared with a retrospective cohort, who were not formally triaged using any system and were admitted to the hospital during the past 6 mo, prior to commencement of the study. Intervention was training of resident doctors for five MTS urgencies using flowcharts and discriminators and displaying them in the emergency room. Data on clinical and outcome variables were abstracted from hospital case record sheets in both the cohorts.
Results:
The present study was conducted from May 2019 to April 2020 including 450 patients hospitalized from August 2019 to January 2020 in a prospective cohort and a retrospective cohort of 450 patients hospitalized from January 2019 to June 2019. Overall mortality in pre-MTS group was 26.2% (118/450) as compared to 20.9% (94/450) in post-MTS group (p value = 0.021). Average treatment time was reduced from 30 to 10 min after implementation of MTS (p value = 0.001).
Conclusion:
Implementation of MTS in pediatric emergency leads to statistically significant reduction of mortality and average treatment-initiation time.
