Different centres had sometimes different screening starting points (between May 2010 and September 2011), but all screened backward for a 1-year period consecutively. For each centre, we present the approximate number of paediatric non-trauma cases seen in the ED during the recruitment period and the percentage of hospital admissions in this group, as well as the absolute number of secondary transfers by a team from the participating ED (en dash if not retraceable). Finally, we give the absolute number of severe outcome cases per centre, defined as cases that died or had a decrease in POPC of 2 or more
aDue to reasons of logistics and data quality, BW and TF only screened for a 9-month period
bDue to reasons of logistics and data quality, PS only screened for a 6-month period
