Adjusted odds ratios for urgent patients by Korean Triage and Acuity Scale (KTAS).
Each plot represents the odds ratio and 95% confidence interval compared with KTAS 3. All 490 patients with KTAS 5 in the non-pain group did not admit to ICU, all 557 patients with KTAS 5 in the pain group did not expire within 7-day, and all 167 patients with KTAS 1 in the non-pain group were severe for the composite index. Therefore, the statistics were not calculated.
