Evaluation of a specific score for air medical evacuation triage

Abstract

Age, local resources, and locations have been identified as independent factors indicating the need for immediate air medical evacuation. This preliminary case-control study aimed to evaluate the relevance of a score from 0 to 6 based on these criteria and to identify thresholds. The 3-step scale we obtained may help in prioritizing repatriation requests.
