Usefulness of the d-dimer to albumin ratio for risk assessment in patients with acute variceal bleeding at the emergency department: retrospective observational study
Background: Acute variceal bleeding (AVB) is a severe complication of portal hypertension that is caused by rupture
of the esophageal or gastric varix. Scoring system for risk stratifcation of AVB is difcult to use because various variables must…

Trauma team training in Norwegian hospitals: an observational study
Background: Traumatic injuries are a leading cause of deaths in Norway, especially among younger males. Traumarelated mortality can be reduced by structural measures, such as organization of a trauma system. Many hospitals in
Norway treat few…

Shortening door-to-puncture time and improving patient outcome with workfow optimization in patients with acute ischemic stroke associated with large vessel occlusion
Objective: We aimed to evaluate door-to-puncture time (DPT) and door-to-recanalization time (DRT) without directing healthcare by neuro-interventionalist support in the emergency department (ED) by workfow optimization and
improving patients’…

Long-term prognosis and clinical course of choking-induced cardiac arrest in patients without the return of spontaneous circulation at hospital arrival: a population-based community study from the Shizuoka Kokuho Database
Background: The risk of choking increases with aging, and the number of cases of choking-induced cardiac arrest
is increasing. However, few studies have examined the prognosis of choking-induced cardiac arrest. The aim of this
study was to reveal…

Improving the performance of a triage scale for chest pain patients admitted to emergency departments: combining cardiovascular risk factors and electrocardiogram
Background: The triage of patients presenting with chest pain on admission to the emergency department uses
scales based on patient clinical presentation or an electrocardiogram (ECG). These scales have diferent sensitivity and
specifcity.…
