Association between variables measured in the ambulance and in-hospital mortality among adult patients with and without infection: a prospective cohort study
Background: Patients presenting with infection to the ambulance are common, but risk factors for poor outcome
are not known. The primary aim of the current study was to study the association between variables measured in
the ambulance and…

Early prediction model of brain death in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients: a single-center retrospective and internal validation analysis
Background: A shortage of donor organs amid high demand for transplantable organs is a worldwide problem, and
an increase in organ donation would be welcomed by the global healthcare system. Patients with brain death (BD)
are potential organ…

Factors infuencing conveyance of older adults with minor head injury by paramedics to the emergency department: a multiple methods study
Background: Head injury (HI) in older adults due to low-energy falls result in a substantial number of emergency
department (ED) attendances. However, mortality associated with minor HI is very low. Reducing conveyance to
hospital is important…

High-risk diagnosis combinations in patients undergoing interhospital transfer: a retrospective observational study
Background: There is limited research on individual patient characteristics, alone or in combination, that contribute
to the higher levels of mortality in post-transfer patients. The purpose of this work is to identify signifcant combinations of…

Overcrowding analysis in emergency department through indexes: a single center study
Introduction: Overcrowding in the Emergency Department (ED) is one of the major issues that must be addressed
in order to improve the services provided in emergency circumstances and to optimize their quality. As a result, in
order to help the…

Patient and hospital characteristics predict prolonged emergency department length of stay and in-hospital mortality: a nationwide
analysis in Korea
Background: Prolonged emergency department length of stay (EDLOS) in critically ill patients leads to increased
mortality. This nationwide study investigated patient and hospital characteristics associated with prolonged EDLOS
and in-hospital…

Perceived human factors from the perspective of paramedics – a qualitative
interview study
Background: The work environment in prehospital emergency medical care setting is dynamic and complex and
includes many stressors. However, little is known about the perceived human factors from the perspective of paramedics. In this study, we…

Predicting hypoglycemia after treatment of hyperkalemia with insulin and glucose (Glu-K60 score)
Background: Hyperkalemia can lead to fatal cardiac arrhythmias. Ten units of intravenous (IV) regular insulin
with 25 g of glucose is the mainstay for treating hyperkalemia. However, the most important complication of this
treatment is…

Role of CD8+ T cell exhaustion in the progression and prognosis of acute respiratory distress syndrome induced by sepsis: a prospective bservational study
Background: CD8+ T cells are important for protective immunity against intracellular pathogens. Excessive amounts
of antigen and/or infammatory signals often lead to the gradual deterioration of CD8+ T cell function, a state called
“exhaustion”.…
