METASTART A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of the Diagnostic Accuracy of the Simple Triage and Rapid Treatment

Franc, J., Kirkland, S., Wisnesky, U., et al. (2022). METASTART: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of the Diagnostic Accuracy of the Simple Triage and Rapid Treatment (START) Algorithm for Disaster Triage. Prehospital Disaster Medicine. 37(1):106-116.
The authors conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of the Simple Triage and Rapid Treatment (START) protocol for triage. They concluded that “START is not accurate enough to serve as a reliable disaster tool.” While its efficacy may be similar to other triage tools, the authors urgently recommend that more accurate triage methods be developed.
