Reasons for hospital selection by EMS providers and under-triage, by age group.
*For Figure 1B, trend lines are plotted on the primary y-axis for patient/family choice, specialty hospital and under-triage (proportion of seriously injured patients transported to non-Level I/II hospitals) for all patients with ISS ≥ 16 (n = 5,752). The secondary y-axis represents the primary reasons for hospital destination selection when restricted to under-triaged patients (n = 1,613).
