Early prediction of in-hospital deterioration after emergency department admission using machine learning models
Background Early prediction of clinical deterioration in patients admitted to general wards from the emergency
department (ED) is crucial for timely interventions and improved outcomes. Traditional scoring systems often fail
to account for dynamic…

Electrocardiogram sonification accelerates detection of ST elevation myocardial infarction compared to analysis based solely on visual display: a randomized controlled simulation study with medical students
Purpose A 12 lead electrocardiogram (ECG) is the standard diagnostic method for the detection of an acute coronary
syndrome, as it is also used in emergency medical services. A novel sonification method can convert an important
part of the ECG…

Emergency department presentations of older patients in Germany: high rates of ambulatory care–sensitive conditions and increased odds of inpatient mortality in patients living with dementia
Background The crowding of emergency departments (ED) in Germany and many other countries has been a well-
known problem and the ageing population is posing additional and very specific challenges to EDs as older patients
may present with…

External validation of the International Early Warning Score in non-traumatic emergency department patients: a prospective cohort
study
Background Emergency department (ED) overcrowding has become a global public health concern, underscoring
the importance of rapid and reliable risk stratification tools. Early warning scores are widely used to identify patients
at risk of…

External validation of the modified Brain Injury Guidelines: an observational study
Background Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is a frequent cause of emergency department (ED) admission, with
most cases being uncomplicated. However, a subset of patients presents with intracranial findings on CT, such as
cerebral hemorrhage or…

Factors associated with the phenomenon of overcrowding in the emergency
department: a retrospective cohort study
Objectives Emergency departments (EDs) have been confronted with growing demand for several decades.
However, the strain on EDs is generally not evenly distributed across the year, as some days are at increased risk
of overcrowding compared to…

First-attempt success and associated factors among emergency tracheal intubations in two addis Ababa hospitals
Introduction First-pass success (FPS) in emergency tracheal intubation is a key quality metric linked to fewer
intubation-related complications, but data from low-income settings are limited. This study aimed to measure FPS
and identify…
