  • Descrição: In this study, we merged the telephone triage data set with the ORION data set and revealed the profile and outcome of patients transported by ambulance after telephone triage. Most of the patients who were transported by ambulance after telephone triage returned home after visiting the emergency department, and cerebral infarction was the most common diagnosis among the patients who were hospitalized. Aim Details such as diagnosis and outcome of patients transported by ambulance after telephone triage have not been fully revealed. The aim of this study was to reveal profile and outcome about patients transported by ambulance via telephone triage with dataset of telephone triage and population‐based registry for emergency patients. Methods This retrospective descriptive study with a one‐year study period from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016 included patients selected from the telephone triage dataset who were transported by ambulance. Key parameters such as age, sex and date and time of ambulance dispatch were used to identify patient data from the ORION registry. We assessed the profile and outcome of the patients in a descriptive epidemiological analysis. Results We included 4,293 patients in the selected datasets whose data were merged, of whom 2,998 patients (69.8%) returned home from the emergency department, 1,255 (29.2%) were hospitalized, 32 (0.7%) were transferred to other hospitals, and 8 (0.2%) died. The most common diagnosis in the emergency departments was “infectious gastroenteritis and colitis, unspecified [A09] (219, 5.1%)”. Among the 1,255 hospitalized patients, 905 patients (72.1%) were discharged home, 254 patients (20.2%) remained hospitalized, 52 patients (4.1%) were transferred to other hospitals, 38 patients (3.0%) died, and 5 patients (0.5%) had missing data. The most common diagnosis was “cerebral infarction [I63.0‐I63.9] (138, 11.0%)”. Conclusion This study revealed the profile and outcome of patients transported by ambulance after telephone triage.
