a CETEC, A 4-level triage scale, developed by the National Health Commission of China, was used to classify patients into Levels 1–4, namely “Imminently endangered'', “Critical'', “Emergency'', and “Urgency and nonemergency'', respectively, from the acutest to the mildest. b The framework of Knowledge-based Uncertainty-inspired Triage System (KUTS), which transforms patient’s information and external expert knowledge into prompts for a pretrained language model (PLM), finetunes the PLM to obtain patient features, and then uses an uncertainty-based classifier to obtain the triage level. It mainly consists of two modules: Knowledge-based encoder module and uncertainty-based classifier module.
