“…In a previous paper in this journal (18) we have highlighted the role of nursing in triage and prediction of the stroke, based upon the scales performed by nurse in the triage area of the hospitals. In the present study we strongly amplify these previous results, with the objective of obtaining a more accurately information about the early prediction of neurological prognosis, in particular the functional independence immediately after discharge from the hospital.…”

Nurses are often asked to predict factors that influence post-stroke outcome by the patient and family. Many studies have been carried out in order to determine the factors that influence the neurological status of the post-stroke patient at the moment of the discharge from the hospital. However, machine learning techniques have not been used for this purpose. Therefore, with the objective of obtaining association rules of neurological prognosis, a double analysis, both clinical and with machine learning techniques of the possible associations of factors that influence the neurological status of the post-stroke patients has been carried out. The Apriori algorithm detected several association rules with high confidence (≥ 95%), from which the following pattern: In patients in the age range of 50-80 years, the association of a NIHSS between 11 and 15 points (intermediate/low NIHSS), along with thrombectomy, leads to recovery ad integrum at discharge. With the SMOTE resampling technique, the 100% confidence was reached for the association of high NIHSS (>20) and involvement of the carotid and basilar arteries, with a dire prognosis (exitus). These rules confirm, for the first time with machine learning, the importance of the association of some predictors, in the post-stroke prognosis. The knowledge by the nurses of these association rules can successfully improve stroke outcome. In addition, the role of nurses in education programs that teach knowledge of risk factors and stroke prognosis becomes essential. A menudo, por parte del paciente y de la familia, se solicita a los profesionales de enfermería que predigan los factores que influyen en el estado post-ictus. Se han realizado numerosos estudios para determinar los factores que influyen en el estado neurológico post-ictus en el momento del alta hospitalaria. Sin embargo, las técnicas de aprendizaje automático no se han utilizado para este propósito. Con el objetivo de obtener reglas de asociación del pronóstico neurológico, se ha llevado a cabo un doble análisis, tanto clínico como con técnicas de aprendizaje automático, de las posibles asociaciones de factores que influyen en el estado neurológico de los pacientes post-ictus. El algoritmo Apriori detectó varias reglas de asociación con alta confianza (≥ 95%), con el siguiente patrón: En pacientes en el rango de edad de 50-80 años, la asociación de un NIHSS entre 11 y 15 puntos (NIHSS intermedio/bajo), junto con la trombectomía, conduce a la recuperación ad integrum al alta. Con la técnica de remuestreo SMOTE, se alcanzó el 100% de confianza para la asociación de NIHSS elevado (>20) y afectación de las arterias carótida y basilar, con pronóstico nefasto (exitus). Estas reglas confirman, por primera vez con aprendizaje automático, la importancia de la asociación de algunos predictores, en el pronóstico post-ictus. El conocimiento por parte de las enfermeras de estas reglas puede mejorar los resultados del ictus. Adicionalmente, el papel de la enfermería en los programas de educación sobre los factores de riesgo, y pronóstico de un ictus se torna imprescindible.

Background Emergency departments use triage to ensure that patients with the highest level of acuity receive care quickly and safely. Triage is typically a nursing process that is documented as structured and unstructured (free text) data. Free-text triage narratives have been studied for specific conditions but never reviewed in a comprehensive manner. Objective The objective of this paper was to identify and map the academic literature that examines triage narratives. The paper described the types of research conducted, identified gaps in the research, and determined where additional review may be warranted. Methods We conducted a scoping review of unstructured triage narratives. We mapped the literature, described the use of triage narrative data, examined the information available on the form and structure of narratives, highlighted similarities among publications, and identified opportunities for future research. Results We screened 18,074 studies published between 1990 and 2022 in CINAHL, MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane, and ProQuest Central. We identified 0.53% (96/18,074) of studies that directly examined the use of triage nurses’ narratives. More than 12 million visits were made to 2438 emergency departments included in the review. In total, 82% (79/96) of these studies were conducted in the United States (43/96, 45%), Australia (31/96, 32%), or Canada (5/96, 5%). Triage narratives were used for research and case identification, as input variables for predictive modeling, and for quality improvement. Overall, 31% (30/96) of the studies offered a description of the triage narrative, including a list of the keywords used (27/96, 28%) or more fulsome descriptions (such as word counts, character counts, abbreviation, etc; 7/96, 7%). We found limited use of reporting guidelines (8/96, 8%). Conclusions The breadth of the identified studies suggests that there is widespread routine collection and research use of triage narrative data. Despite the use of triage narratives as a source of data in studies, the narratives and nurses who generate them are poorly described in the literature, and data reporting is inconsistent. Additional research is needed to describe the structure of triage narratives, determine the best use of triage narratives, and improve the consistent use of triage-specific data reporting guidelines.
