Study III (manuscript)

Infection presentations: concordance across dispatch, phenotype (ESS), and high-risk triage

Study III examines how system classifications align across stages—dispatch suspicion, on-scene phenotype, and high-risk triage—and uses interpretability-first exploratory modelling to characterise heterogeneity in routine data.

Core interpretation principle: Because some on-scene classifications contribute to downstream triage labels, this study quantifies alignment across stages rather than claiming independent predictive validity. Associations involving response time are interpreted with prioritisation and selection effects in view.

Aim

To describe concordance across dispatch suspicion, on-scene phenotype, and high-risk triage in infection presentations, and to map heterogeneity using interpretability-first exploratory modelling.
