Reliability and validity of the Manchester Triage System in a general emergency department patient population in the Netherlands: results of a simulation study

“…Sensitivity was 86.8% and specificity was 72.4%. Dann et al 7 studied whether the MTS can detect the critically ill. Sensitivity for allocating patients with mild pain into a non-urgent triage category was 14.9% while specificity was 97.7%.…”
