Abstract

BACKGROUND: The development of emergency department (ED) triage systems remains challenging in accurately differentiating patients with acute abdominal pain (AAP) who are critical and urgent for surgery due to subjectivity and limitations. We use machine learning models to predict emergency surgical abdominal pain patients in triage, and then compare their performance with conventional Logistic regression models.
