Objective:​ to analyze the occurrence of severe injuries and deaths among crash victims transported to hospitals in relation to occupant and scene characteristics, including on-scene patient mobility, and their potential use in triaging patients to the appropriate level of care. Methods:​ the occurrence of death and ISS>15 were studied in relation to occupant, crash and mobility data readily available to EMS at the scene, using weighted NASS-CDS data. Data set was randomly split in two for model development and evaluation. Characteristics were combined to develop new triage schemes. Overtriage and undertriage rates were calculated for the NASS-CDS case trauma center allocation and for the newly developed triage schemes. Results:​ Compared to the NASS-CDS distribution, a scheme using patient mobility alone showed lower overtriage of those with ISS<15 (38.8% vs. 55.5%) and lower undertriage of victims who died from their crash-related injuries (2.34% vs. 21.47%). Undertriage of injuries with ISS> 15 was similar (16.0 vs. 16.9). A scheme based on the presence of one of many scene risk factors (age>55, GCS<14, intrusion >18", near lateral impact, far lateral impact with intrusion >12", rollover or lack of restraint use) resulted in an undertriage of 0.86% (death) and 10.5% (ISS>15) and an overtriage of 63.4%. The combination of at least one of the scene risk factors and mobility status greatly decreased overtriage of those with ISS<15 (24.4%) with an increase in death undertriage (3.19%). Further combination of mobility and scene factors allowed for maintenance of a low undertriage (0.86%) as well as an acceptable overtriage (48%). Conclusion:​ Patient mobility data easily obtained at the scene of a crash allows triaging of injured patients to the appropriate facility with a high sensitivity and specificity. The addition of crash scene data to scene mobility allows further reductions on undertriaging or overtriaging.
