This review evaluates the impact of standardized nurse-led triage protocols on diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes in trauma care.
Systematic review following PRISMA 2020 guidelines
Search of five databases from January 2010 to October 2025
Inclusion of studies implementing standardized triage tools in emergency or prehospital settings
Risk of bias assessed using QUADAS-2, ROBINS-I, and JBI checklists
Narrative synthesis of findings
Standardized triage improved diagnostic accuracy to between 70% and 97%
Under-triage rates were reduced to 20% or less
Waiting times decreased by up to 45%
On-scene-to-care intervals were shortened by approximately 38%
Effective protocols associated with better recognition of high-acuity trauma and improved survival outcomes
