Organisational determinants and consequences of diagnostic discrepancy in two large patient groups in the emergency departments: a national study of consecutive episodes between 2008 and 2016
Background: Diagnostic discrepancy (DD) is a common phenomenon in healthcare, but little is known about its
organisational determinants and consequences. Thus, the aim of the study was to evaluate this among selected
emergency department (ED)…

Pediatric triage variations among nurses, pediatric and emergency residents using the Canadian triage and acuity scale
Background: Emergency care continues to be a challenge, since patients’ arrival is unscheduled and could occur at
the same time which may fill the Emergency Department with non-urgent patients. Triaging is an integral part of
every busy ED. The…

Predicting factors for abnormal brain computed tomography in children with minor head trauma
Background: Deciding whether a cranial Computed Tomography (CT) scan in a patient with minor head trauma
(MHT) is necessary or not has always been challenging. Diagnosing Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a fundamental
part of MHT managing especially…

Prevention of alcohol withdrawal seizure recurrence and treatment of other alcohol withdrawal symptoms in the emergency department: a rapid review
Background: Patients who experience harms from alcohol and other substance use often seek care in the emergency
department (ED). ED visits related to alcohol withdrawal have increased across the world during the COVID-19
pandemic. ED clinicians are…

Qualitative development and content validation of the “SPART” model; a focused ethnography study of observable diagnostic and therapeutic activities in the emergency medical services care process
Background: Clinical reasoning is a crucial task within the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) care process. Both
contextual and cognitive factors make the task susceptible to errors. Understanding the EMS care process’ structure
could help identify…

Risk prediction of biomarkers for early multiple organ dysfunction in critically ill patients
Background: Shock and organ damage occur in critically ill patients in the emergency department because of
biological responses to invasion, and cytokines play an important role in their development. It is important to
predict early multiple organ…

suPAR cut-offs for stratification of low, medium, and high-risk acute medical patients in the emergency department
Background: Soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) levels have previously been associated with
readmission and mortality in acute medical patients in the ED. However, no specific cut-offs for suPAR have been
tested in this…

Survival after traumatic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in Vietnam: a multicenter prospective cohort study
Background: Pre-hospital services are not well developed in Vietnam, especially the lack of a trauma system of
care. Thus, the prognosis of traumatic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) might differ from that of other
countries. Although the…
