Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The performance of the new major trauma triage tool will be defined by its over and under triage rates, with regard to identifying a case of true major trauma as defined by expert consensus panel. This will be measured only once, after the patients have been screened by the new major trauma triage tool, been received in a Hospital site, and their episode has concluded.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
The performance of the new major trauma triage tools will be defined by sensitivity, specificity, predictive values, and c-statistics with their 95% confidence intervals (95% CI), with regard to identifying a case of true major trauma as defined by expert consensus panel. This will be measured only once, after the patients have been screened by the new major trauma triage tool, been received in a Hospital site, and their episode has concluded.	—
