Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
1.The length of time elapsed from the exit of the triage room until each of the following measures and comparing them based on two methods of stroke triage scale and the emergency severity index scale (ESI): CT Scan doctor appiontment Checks the orders by the nurse 2.The mean of the triage score of patients hospitalized in ICU in two methods of stroke triage scale and the emergency severity index scale (ESI). 3.The mean of the triage score of patients admitted to the neurology department in two methods of stroke triage scale and the emergency severity index scale (ESI). 4.The mean of the triage score of discharged patients in two methods of stroke triage scale and the emergency severity index scale (ESI). 5.Measurement of triage error and sensitivity and specificity in two methods of stroke triage scale and the emergency severity index scale (ESI). 6.thrombolytic therapy. Timepoint: The final outcome of the patient is determined from the patients leaves the triage room to 6 hours later. Method of measurement: The level of triage of patients entering the study is determined using the items available at each scale. To measure time indicators, the hours recorded in the patient file are used.	—
