Analysis of violent attacks on emergency medical technicians in Ghana: a structural equation modelling approach
Background Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) play a crucial role in healthcare, yet they frequently encounter
violence in the line of duty. The incidence of violence against EMTs in Ghana is still not well understood, and it is a
problem that is…

Key indicators contributing to prolonged emergency department stays in Saudi Arabia: a modified Delphi study
Background A prolonged length of stay (LoS) in emergency departments (EDs) is a growing issue that affects patient
prognosis, resource allocation, and operational efficiency. In Saudi Arabia, an ED stay exceeding 8 h is considered
prolonged;…

Prognostic performance of the temperature- and age-modified shock index for children with sepsis and septic shock: a retrospective cohort study
Background Pediatric septic shock is associated with high mortality and morbidity rates. Lactate levels are
monitored to determine the quality of sepsis treatment; however, some rural hospitals have restricted access
to lactate measurements because…

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…

Identifying optimal locations for automated external defibrillators (AED) in Freiburg: development and validation of a machine learning model based on demographic and infrastructural data
Introduction Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a critical medical emergency where rapid access to automated
external defibrillators (AED) can significantly improve survival rates. However, there is currently a lack of well-
established…

Respiratory National Early Warning Score
for 28-day mortality prediction in suspected
sepsis patients in the emergency department
Background Most early warning scores were derived in heterogeneous acutely ill populations and are not
specifically tailored to patients with suspected sepsis in the emergency department (ED). In sepsis, respiratory rate
(RR) is frequently elevated…

Analysis of factors affecting organizational engagement between pre-hospital and hospital emergency departments: a qualitative study
Introduction The provision of efficient and integrated emergency services constitutes a vital cornerstone for
reducing mortality rates and improving clinical outcomes for patients and casualties within complex healthcare
systems. Effective…

Causes and consequences of overcrowding
in emergency departments and its impact
on patients’ care at main governmental
hospitals in Gaza Strip: a cross-sectional study
Background Emergency department (ED) overcrowding is a growing challenge in many healthcare systems,
