简要总结
This study is a prospective observational cohort study comparing the mode of transport used by referred and non-referred patients and its correlation to the clinical status at presentation in the pediatric emergency which will be conducted in the Advanced Paediatrics Center, PGIMER. A total of 358 participants will be recruited for the study. The primary objective is to compare the clinical status at presentation (as measured by triage system proforma) with mode of transport in referred vs non-referred patients in the Pediatric emergency**.** Secondary objectives include
1. Measuring difference in clinical state as per triage level at presentation in pediatric emergency based on ambulance vs non-ambulance transport,
2. To determine the Socio-economic status of patients using modified Kuppuswamy scale and measure how it correlates with clinical state as per triage level at presentation in pediatric emergency.
3. To determine the relationship between distance travelled and how it correlates with clinical state as per triage level at presentation in pediatric emergency.
4. To determine the delay in presentation to emergency and reasons for such delays in presentation to the Emergency after Referral (measured in hours/days)
