Article Abstract
Background: Field triage is critical in injury patients as the appropriate transport of patients to trauma centers is directly associated with clinical outcomes. Several prehospital triage scores have been developed in Western and European cohorts; however, their validity and applicability in Asia remains unclear. Therefore, we aimed to develop and validate an interpretable field triage scoring systems based on a multinational trauma registry in Asia.
Methods: This retrospective and multinational cohort study included all adult transferred injury patients from Korea, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Taiwan between 2016 and 2018. The outcome of interest was a death in the emergency department (ED) after the patients' ED visit. Using these results, we developed the interpretable field triage score with the Korea registry using an interpretable machine learning framework and validated the score externally. The performance of each country's score was assessed using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC). Furthermore, a website for real-world application was developed using R Shiny.
Findings: The study population included 26,294, 9404, 673 and 826 transferred injury patients between 2016 and 2018 from Korea, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Taiwan, respectively. The corresponding rates of a death in the ED were 0.30%, 0.60%, 4.0%, and 4.6% respectively. Age and vital sign were found to be the significant variables for predicting mortality. External validation showed the accuracy of the model with an AUROC of 0.756-0.850.
Interpretation: The Grade for Interpretable Field Triage (GIFT) score is an interpretable and practical tool to predict mortality in field triage for trauma.
Funding: This research was supported by a grant of the Korea Health Technology R&D Project through the Korea Health Industry Development Institute (KHIDI), funded by the Ministry of Health & Welfare, Republic of Korea (Grant Number: HI19C1328).

Risk of acute pericarditis after pulsed-field ablation pulmonary vein isolation.
Heart Rhythm O2

Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, Harvard-Thorndike Arrhythmia Institute, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston, Massachusetts.
Background: Postablation pericarditis (PAP) can occur after pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) using radiofrequency ablation (RFA). Pulsed-field ablation (PFA) PAP is anticipated to be lower based on its nonthermal nature and initial studies.
Objective: We aimed to evaluate the incidence of PAP after PFA and compare this with rates of RFA PAP.

Mustard agents, including sulphur mustard (SM) and nitrogen mustard (NM), are chemical warfare agents that can cause blistering of the skin and mucous membranes upon contact. Although SM and NM both have dermal effects, their medical management of systemic poisoning differs significantly. A rapid and simple method for detecting and discriminating between SM and NM would be greatly valuable.

Introduction: Targeted identification, effective triage, and rapid hemorrhage control are essential for optimal outcomes of mass-casualty incidents (MCIs). An important aspect of Emergency Medical Service (EMS) care is field triage, but this skill is difficult to teach, assess, and research.
Study Objective: This study assessed triage efficacy and hemorrhage control of emergency responders from different professions who used the Sort, Assess, Life-Saving Treatment (SALT) triage algorithm in a virtual reality (VR) simulation of a terrorist subway bombing.
Emergency Department Accuracy of Point-of-Care Ultrasound in Identifying Clinically Significant Pneumothorax in High-Severity Trauma Patients.

Background: Thoracic point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is an improved modality for detecting pneumothorax (PTX) with high accuracy compared with supine chest x-ray (CXR) study. However, recent research has questioned the sensitivity of POCUS for diagnosis of PTX in trauma patients.
Objective: The authors determined the accuracy of emergency physician (EP) POCUS in identifying clinically significant PTX in high-severity trauma patients based on the red criteria of the 2021 National Expert Panel on Field Triage.
Recommendations for studying the association of the cancer diagnosis to treatment interval with overall survival: a modified Delphi process.

Department of Public Health Sciences, Queen's University, Kingston, ON, Canada.
Background: The duration from diagnosis to primary treatment initiation (DTI) is an important interval for patients with cancer, as delayed treatment has been found to be associated with heightened recurrence rates and worsened survival. Studying the association between DTI duration and overall survival (OS) is biased and confounded by clinical triaging, heterogeneous definitions, and variation in analytic approaches.
Objective: To develop consensus-based guidance for conducting studies investigating the association of DTI duration and OS.
