Description

The Cribari Matric is used to assess undertriage and overtriage in a trauma center. It is comparable to the true positive and false negative rates.


Axes for 2x2 matrix:

(1) major trauma (ISS > 15, positive NFTI, or other criteria) vs minor trauma

(2) full trauma team activation or not

 

 

Major Trauma (ISS > 15)

Minor Trauma (ISS <= 15)

Full Team Activated

a

b

Full Team Not Activated

c

d

 

undertriage = false negative rate =

= (number with full team not activated AND major trauma) / (total number with full trauma team not activated) =

= c / (c + d)

 

overtriage = false positive rate =

= (number activated and minor trauma) / (total with full trauma team activated) =

= b / (a + b)

 

correctly triaged =

= (a + d) / (a + b + c + d)
