The aims of this first screening guide were to introduce the notions of triage and to provide information on common red flags organized by systems. An appropriate triage makes it possible to redirect patients either directly to the emergency room (ER) or to their attending physician or to be able to safely initiate physiotherapy treatment. This guide will be regularly updated in order to offer a document based on current scientific data. The information that will emerge from the latest scientific studies, as well as new recommendations in the field of triage, will therefore be integrated and updated. [...]
