  1. Note: Numbers in the top row mirror the numbering of study variables in the first column. Associations between study variables can be read off the respective combination of information from the first column and top row. * α-level or p-level < .05; ** α-level or p-level < .001; MTS Manchester Triage System; Variable numbers 1 to 13 employ nominal scale level, while variable numbers 14 to 16 employ metric scale level; Statistical measures of associations: Cramer’s V for associations between nominal variables, Eta coefficient (η2) for associations between nominal and metric variables and, Pearson’s r for associations between metric variables
