Summary: This paper presents a Deep Learning-based system for information triaging on Twitter during emergency situations. By analyzing language behavior of users during influential events, classifying information, and performing sentiment analysis, the system is validated to work well even with training data from nearly 10 years ago.

Summary: A study in 23 ICUs in Victoria, Australia found that low-priority patients admitted to the ICU had higher long-term survival rates and lower in-hospital mortality compared to high-priority patients according to current pandemic triage criteria. These findings suggest the need for evidence-based ICU triage protocols.

Summary: This study assessed the prehospital triage performed during the 2015 Paris area terrorist attack, finding that 78% of trauma casualties were triaged, with a 36% rate of undertriage and 8% of overtriage. Qualitative analysis suggests the possibility for further improvement in the triage process.

Summary: Novel triage tools developed using machine learning outperform existing tools in a nationally representative trauma population. The proposed primary tool requires external validation prior to consideration for practical use. The secondary tool demonstrates good external validity and may be used to support decision-making by healthcare workers responding to major incidents.

Summary: This review explores the successes and learnings of community paramedic programmes in education requirements, models of delivery, clinical governance and supervision, scope of roles, and outcomes. The findings highlight a lack of research and understanding in education and scope of role for community paramedics. Standardization in governance and supervision models is lacking, potentially hindering the full potential of community paramedicine. However, evidence supports the implementation of community paramedicine into healthcare system design, resulting in positive patient outcomes and high satisfaction.

Summary: The study focuses on the ethical criteria for prioritizing patients in disaster triage. The analysis identified efficient and effective triage as well as priority-oriented triage as the main categories. It suggests a combination of measures should be considered to maximize the benefits of casualty prioritization, and further investigations are needed to elaborate on these criteria in decision-making.

Summary: Research using nationally representative survey data from 2011 and 2014 found that exposure to the SARS epidemic was positively associated with better health behaviors among middle-aged and older Chinese adults. Those who lived in communities affected by the SARS outbreak were more likely to engage in health behaviors such as getting physical exams, having their blood pressure checked, and participating in regular physical exercise in the years following the epidemic. These associations varied by gender and rural-urban residence.
