Title A name given to the resource Negative predictive value of S100B in all types of traumatic brain injury in different aging groups Subject The topic of the resource Traumatic brain injury, S100B level, Negative predictive value Description An account of the resource Purpose Traumatic brain injury (TBI) represents a major contributor to global morbidity and mortality, and the optimization of diagnostic approaches continues to be a matter of considerable scientific debate. The S100 calcium- binding protein B (S100B) value is characterized by a high diagnostic negative predictive value (NPV) and is obtained without exporure to radiation. The aim of the study was to investigate the NPV of the S100B level in the patient cohort aged 75 and older with TBI and compare the results with a cohort of individuals below 75. The hypothesis was, that the S100B value would have a sufficiently high NPV in both patient groups, thereby serving as a diagnostic marker, but with a higher NPV in the below 75 age group. Materials and methods A retrospective study was conducted on 815 TBI patients from a Level I trauma center from April 2016 to May 2024. Both, S100B levels and CT scans were obtained within 30 min to 6 h post-trauma. Patients were divided into two groups: below 75 years and 75 years and older. S100B levels≥0.105 μ/L were considered positive.NPV and sensitivity were calculated for both groups. Results Among the 815 patients, 76 had normal S100B and CT results, 13 had abnormal CT but normal S100B, 65 had elevated S100B and abnormal CT, and 661 had elevated S100B with normal CT. The overall NPV was 85.4% (95% CI 0.753, 0.909; p<0.01), with a sensitivity of 83.3% (95% CI 0.776, 0.919; p<0.01). In the under-75 group (574 patients), the NPV was 86.8% (95% CI 0.816, 1; p<0.01), and sensitivity was 76.2% (95% CI 0.5, 1; p<0.01). In the over-75 group (241 patients), the NPV was 77% (95% CI 0.622, 0.878; p<0.01), with sensitivity of 91.7% (95% CI 0.786, 0.938; p<0.01). The intervention rate was 0.3% in the under-75 group and 1.6% in the over-75 group. Conclusion We found a clear and significant correlation between a negative S100B level and normal CT scan. We believe that the determination of S100B levels significantly reduces the radiation exposure for TBI patients, especially in younger patients. However, its reliability varies by age, warranting further investigation in diverse populations and TBI severities.

Title A name given to the resource Identifying patients transported by helicopter emergency medical services using the International Classification of Diseases (ICD)- 11: a scoping review Subject The topic of the resource Helicopter emergency medical services, Helicopter, ICD-11, Scoping review Description An account of the resource Background Helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS) are an imperative life-saving strategy globally. This study aimed to identify patients transported by HEMS using the International Classification of Diseases 11th version (ICD-11). Methods A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, and PsycInfo to identify articles published in English between January 1, 2010, and February 26, 2025, that included at least 5 cases transported by HEMS. Studies were included if they reported trauma, non-trauma patients or both and for those with trauma, type of trauma and/or cause of trauma. Results This scoping review included 91 studies involving 3,687,053 patients (range, 6−1,679,675 cases), with a median number of 1,562 male patients (standardized proportion 66.07%). Non-traumatic conditions accounted for 57.25% of global HEMS missions, while trauma represented 42.75%. Unlike other regions, North America had a higher incidence of trauma than disease. Among disease cases, cardiac arrest (MC82, 6.92%) was a frequently reported condition. Among the trauma cases, polytrauma (ND37, 1.45%) was the most common. The transport accidents, falls, and submersion represented the predominant trauma causes. Regarding trauma type, incidence of blunt trauma (26.30%) was more than five times that of penetrating trauma (5.03%). Conclusions This study identified the HEMS-transported patient profiles by the ICD-11 framework. We found significant heterogeneity and underreporting in the existing literatures, leading to several diseases and trauma being classified under non-specific ICD-11 codes, along with their causes and types. Future research should prioritize the collection and reporting of granular, specific diagnostic data to fully leverage the ICD-11 framework. This will be essential for improving patient outcomes in high-acuity pre-hospital care. Clinical trial number Not applicable.

Title A name given to the resource Post-earthquake emergency nurse allocation: a human resource management approach based on simulation modeling Subject The topic of the resource Disaster nursing, Earthquake preparedness, Mathematical modeling, Staffing planning Description An account of the resource Objective This study aims to develop a mathematical model to estimate the number of emergency nurses required to ensure the continuity of healthcare services in the aftermath of an earthquake. Background The February 6, 2023, Kahramanmaraş earthquake, which severely impacted southeastern Turkey, caused widespread devastation in Hatay province. The destruction of infrastructure, along with the large number of casualties and injuries, created an overwhelming demand for medical services, putting an extraordinary strain on the region’s healthcare system. Hatay, with limited medical resources and a single operating hospital, faced significant challenges in maintaining adequate care for the injured. This situation underscores the critical need for effective planning and resource allocation, particularly in estimating the number of emergency nurses required to manage the immediate aftermath of such disasters. Methods The study focused on Hatay Mustafa Kemal University Hospital, the sole healthcare provider in Hatay, following the 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquakes. Using real field data (e.g., building collapse rates, injury estimations, and population distribution), a simulation was conducted. The M/M/s queuing theory model was applied to calculate the number of nurses required, factoring in patient arrival rates, nurse care capacity, and working shifts. Results Based on an estimated 11,645 injured patients over 144 h, the model concluded that 27 nurses per shift (totaling 81 nurses for 24-hour care) would be necessary to sustain full-capacity service. The projections closely aligned with actual hospital data. Conclusion The model provides a scalable, scenario-sensitive planning tool that can support emergency preparedness efforts. Its basis in real disaster data enhances both its reliability and applicability, positioning it as a practical decision-making aid for policymakers and hospital administrators aiming to strengthen disaster organizational resilience through evidence-based nurse staffing strategies.

Title A name given to the resource Improving care for intimate partner violence in the emergency department: recommendations from a Canadian retrospective chart review Subject The topic of the resource Intimate partner violence, Trauma informed care, Emergency medicine Description An account of the resource Background Intimate partner violence (IPV) is prevalent among patients visiting the emergency department (ED). Studies show that patients experiencing IPV continue to have negative care experiences in the ED, leading to an increased risk of adverse physical, mental, legal, and economic outcomes. However, few studies explore ED care metrics and gaps in knowledge on how providers can improve. Methods We sought to fill these gaps by collecting quantitative and qualitative electronic data on ED care parameters for patients experiencing IPV. A retrospective chart review was conducted for patients seen in our tertiary care center’s ED and by our Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence Program between December 17, 2018 and June 16, 2021. Quantitative data, including sociodemographics, were summarized using medians/interquartile ranges and frequencies/proportions as appropriate using SPSS. This paper describes IPV care metrics across three domains: (1) ED mandatory reporting, (2) medical management of strangulation, and (3) discharge diagnosis containing IPV. Additionally, when documenting IPV encounters in charts, the use of trauma- and violence-informed care (TVIC) principles was evaluated as a secondary exploratory outcome. Results A total of 124 clinical encounters were analyzed. Among these, 54 involved children in the home, and documentation of mandatory reporting was absent in 43% (23/54) of such cases. Twenty-five patients experienced strangulation; however, 88% (22/25) of these cases were inadequately investigated. Furthermore, IPV was omitted as a discharge diagnosis in 38% (47/124) of encounters. Overall, 64% (79/124) of charts demonstrated a lack of trauma- and violence-informed care (TVIC) principles in the documentation of IPV-related encounters. Conclusions These findings highlight that gaps exist for ED patients experiencing IPV and illuminate areas for improvement of clinical care. We provide evidence-based recommendations for ED providers to improve their management of IPV, including review of mandatory reporting legislation, overview of clinical criteria requiring contrast imaging for strangulation, and discussion around the significance of including IPV in ED discharge diagnosis.

Title A name given to the resource Influence of non-clinical factors on emergency department decision-making: a Delphi study Subject The topic of the resource Emergency medicine, Decision making, Delphi study, Non clinical factors, ED admissions Description An account of the resource Background Disposition decisions in the emergency department (ED) are expected to rely primarily on clinical need, yet in practice, non-clinical factors frequently shape outcomes. These influences are poorly documented and rarely prioritized systematically. This study sought to achieve consensus among ED physicians on the most impactful non- clinical factors affecting admission decisions. Methods We conducted a two-round Delphi survey among 34 ED physicians across Israel. Candidate non-clinical factors were derived from prior research and classified into three domains: patient-related, physician-related, and system-related. Participants rated each factor on a Likert scale regarding its frequency of influence, and consensus was defined as ≥66% agreement. Non-parametric tests were used to assess associations with physician characteristics. Results Consensus was reached for all 21 factors after two Delphi rounds. Patient-related factors such as personal preference and family support were rated as commonly influential, while socioeconomic status was considered rarely influential. Physician-related factors including years of experience, field of expertise, and fatigue were commonly influential, whereas gender and cultural background were not. Among system-related factors, inpatient bed capacity and home care availability were frequently influential, whereas adherence to quality indicators and ED arrival time were rarely considered determinants. No significant variation was observed across physician subgroups. Conclusion This Delphi study highlights that ED admission decisions are shaped not only by clinical needs but also by contextual non-clinical factors spanning patient, physician, and system domains. Recognizing and addressing these influences may support more standardized, equitable, and efficient ED decision-making and inform targeted interventions at institutional and policy levels.

Title A name given to the resource Comparison of the effects of microlearning and webinars on knowledge and self-efficacy of emergency medical technicians (EMTs) in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias Subject The topic of the resource Cardiac arrhythmia, Emergency medical technicians (EMTs), Knowledge, Microlearning, Self-efficacy, Webinar Description An account of the resource Background Emergency medical technicians (EMTs) are crucial for early diagnosis and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. Continuous training is needed, and innovative methods such as microlearning and webinars may offer advantages over traditional approaches. Methods In this quasi-experimental study, 75 EMTs in Zabol, Iran (2024) were randomly assigned to microlearning, webinar, or control groups. The microlearning group received 22 short online sessions; the webinar group attended two 55-minute virtual lectures. Knowledge and self-efficacy were measured before, immediately after, and one month after the interventions using validated questionnaires. Results Microlearning was more effective and sustainable than both webinar and control methods in improving participants’ knowledge and self-efficacy, especially at the one-month follow-up. Compared with the baseline, the microlearning group maintained nearly 95% of their immediate post-test improvement after one month, while the webinar group’s scores dropped by about 25%, and the control group showed no meaningful change. The differences between microlearning and the other groups at one month were statistically significant (P<0.001). Conclusions Microlearning is more effective and durable than webinars for enhancing EMTs’ knowledge and self-efficacy in managing cardiac arrhythmias. It is recommended as a practical approach for continuous clinical education.

Title A name given to the resource Epidemiology of oncologic emergency in Ethiopia: a systematic review and meta- analysis Subject The topic of the resource Oncologic, Emergency, Febrile, Neutropenia, Policies and strategies Description An account of the resource Background Oncologic emergency is a serious clinical experience that presents significant challenges to patients and caregivers. A comprehensive understanding of the overall magnitude of oncologic emergencies is critical. However, existing literatures are fragmented and varying in the report of results. Therefore, this study aims to determine the overall magnitude of oncologic emergency in Ethiopia Methods Comprehensive literature search was conducted from various sources. A random-effects meta-analysis was conducted using DerSimonian-Laird to estimate the pooled effect size. Heterogeneity was checked using I2 statistic. Sub group and sensitivity analysis was conducted to mitigate heterogeneity. Funnel plot and egger’s regression test was used to check publication bias and small study effect. Results This study included 23 studies involving a total of 6755 cancer patients. The pooled prevalence of oncologic emergency across in Ethiopia was 30.87% (95%CI 23.72–38.02). Substantial heterogeneity (I2=98.5%) across the studies were identified. The 95% prediction interval ranged from 5.62% to 67.40%, reflecting the expected prevalence in a new study. Comorbidity, advanced age, being on cancer treatment, and metastasis were significant predictors of oncologic emergency. Conclusion Advancing innovations in early detection and prompt intervention is critical to reduce the burden of oncologic emergency on patients and the health care system. A notable challenge encountered was the variability in definitions and measurement of oncologic emergencies across included studies.

Title A name given to the resource SVEAT score for early risk stratification of acute chest pain: a multicenter study Subject The topic of the resource Chest pain, SVEAT score, HEART score, Emergency department, Risk stratification, Major adverse cardiac events Description An account of the resource Background Chest pain is one of the most common reasons for emergency department (ED) visits. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the diagnostic performance of the SVEAT score for risk stratification in patients presenting to the ED with chest pain. Methods This prospective, multicenter, observational study was conducted between June 1 and November 31, 2024. Adult patients presenting with chest pain were included. Exclusion criteria included trauma, pregnancy, STEMI diagnosis at presentation, unavailable follow-up, or missing data. Demographic characteristics, vital parameters, comorbidities, medications, and clinical outcomes were recorded. SVEAT and HEART scores were calculated at 0, 1, and 2 h based on original definitions. The primary outcome was the occurrence of MACE within 30 days. Results A total of 704 patients were included (median age 46 years (IQR 33–61), 44.6% female). MACE occurred in 157 patients (22.3%). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) values for the SVEAT score at 0, 1, and 2 h were 0.954, 0.954, and 0.955, respectively, and for the HEART score were 0.935, 0.937, and 0.938, respectively. For the optimal cut-off value (SVEAT>1), the sensitivity and specificity for MACE prediction were consistently 89% and 91% across all time points. For HEART>2, the sensitivity was 89%, 91%, and 92%, with a constant specificity of 83%. Conclusion The SVEAT score demonstrated excellent predictive accuracy for MACE at all time points and effectively discriminated between high- and low-risk patients with chest pain. The newly identified cut-off values enhance the safe identification of low-risk patients, potentially supporting earlier discharge decisions and optimizing ED resource utilization.

Title A name given to the resource Diagnostic performance of procalcitonin and presepsin in sepsis: a systematic review and meta-analysis Subject The topic of the resource Sepsis, Procalcitonin, Presepsin, Sensitivity, Specificity, Diagnostic test Description An account of the resource Background Sepsis is a critical emergency condition characterized by life-threatening organ dysfunction due to a dysregulated response to infection. In the fast-paced emergency department (ED) setting, rapid identification and prompt initiation of treatment within the initial hours following sepsis onset are critical for reducing mortality and improving patient outcomes. However, a timely and accurate diagnosis remains a significant challenge in emergency medicine. Biomarkers such as procalcitonin (PCT) and presepsin (P-SEP) have been proposed as tools to distinguish sepsis from other non-infectious inflammatory conditions frequently encountered in the ED, though their diagnostic effectiveness remains controversial. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of PCT and P-SEP for diagnosis patients with sepsis. Methods A comprehensive systematic search was conducted across the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, PubMed, and Scopus databases up to April 1st, 2024 and updated on June 30th, 2025. Studies reporting sensitivity and specificity of PCT and P-SEP for sepsis detection among patients in acute and emergency settings were included. Hierarchical modeling techniques were utilized to pool data for sensitivity, specificity, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) along with their 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results Thirty-eight observational studies met inclusion criteria. The pooled sensitivities and specificities for detecting sepsis using PCT were 0.78 (95% CI: 0.74–0.81) and 0.77 (95% CI: 0.71–0.82), respectively. Similarly, for P-SEP, pooled sensitivity and specificity were 0.82 (95% CI: 0.77–0.86) and 0.78 (95% CI: 0.73–0.83), respectively. No statistically significant differences were identified between PCT and P-SEP regarding sensitivity (p=0.169) or specificity (p=0.792). The summary receiver operating characteristic analysis yielded an AUROC of 0.84 (95% CI: 0.81–0.87) for PCT and 0.87 (95% CI: 0.84–0.90) for P-SEP. Conclusions Both PCT and P-SEP represent reliable biomarkers for early and accurate sepsis detection in acute and ED settings, demonstrating comparable diagnostic performance. Their integration into routine ED assessment protocols may support timely clinical decision-making and prompt initiation of appropriate treatment strategies.

In Kuwait, limited research has been conducted to assess WPV in healthcare facilities. This study aims to investigate the prevalence, characteristics, and factors influencing WPV among ED staff in Kuwait’s public government hospitals. Method A cross-sectional study was conducted in the EDs of seven general government hospitals in Kuwait from March 2024 to March 2025. The study utilised a self-administered questionnaire. The target population consisted of physicians and nurses working in the EDs. Results A total of 407 responses from 1,542 healthcare workers were included in this study, yielding a response rate of 26.39%. Most participants (62.7%) reported that they experienced WPV in the past year, mainly verbal violence (97.3%). The most frequent causes of WPV were overcrowding and long waiting times. Most incidents occurred in the observation room involving offenders aged 21–45 who were relatives of patients. About 49% reported no consequences from WPV, while 25% indicated reduced work performance. The multiple regression model revealed that female participants (Odds Ratio (OR), P=0.045), participants working in a specific health district (OR=2.92, P=0.009), and those with longer work experience were associated with an increased likelihood of being exposed to WPV (OR=3.79, P=0.009). However, it was found that treating both male and female patients decreases the probability of experiencing WPV (OR=0.35, P=0.023). Conclusion WPV is a significant issue in Kuwaiti EDs, especially among female and experienced workers, with respective geographical differences. Policies should promote ED safety and reporting of WPV events. Training and well-being programs for ED staff are also necessary.
