  "abstract": "Mitigating overtriage and undertriage in trauma activation criteria (TAC) has continued to vex trauma surgeons for decades since the earliest criteria were described in the inaugural Optimal Resources for the Injured Patient by the American College of Surgeons (ACS) in 1976.1 Recent studies such as Boulton et al2 evaluated elderly-specific prehospital trauma triage criteria and found limited real-world data on their effectiveness in improving patient care and outcomes. Conversely, in a recent meta-analysis, Wake et al3 investigated various criteria for trauma activation and found low Glasgow Coma Scale, hypotension, abnormal vital signs at emergency department triage, and the presence of multiregion trauma predict the presence of major trauma in adult trauma patients, hypothesizing that these criteria could form a foundation for evidence-based TAC.",
