A hybrid systematic review examined 92 papers on trauma triage tools (TTTs), revealing significant variability in the application of prehospital characteristics across international studies. While higher-level categories such as physiological measurements and injury mechanisms were consistent, the specific thresholds and interpretations used varied widely. This inconsistency may lead to sub-optimal clinical decision-making and highlights the need for a standardized taxonomy in TTT operationalization to improve major trauma triaging practices globally.
