%X Italian guidelines require a 4-level in hospital triage based on an acuity scale measurement, but they don¡¯t suggest common guidelines neither which triage models to adopt. Thus each hospital developed own triage guidelines based on consensus. But, to our knowledge, there aren¡¯t data on the reliability and predictive validity of triage systems adopted by Italian Emergency Department. Also in the ED of Imola, a triage working group developed Guidelines on triage in 2001. In this study we measured the reliability and predictive validity of the Imola Triage Guidelines (LGTI).
