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…

Helicopter emergency medical services for elderly patients: clinical outcomes and disease patterns
Background The rapid aging of global populations necessitates evidence-based optimization of emergency medical
services for elderly patients. This study evaluates helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS) utilization patterns,
clinical outcomes,…

Prehospital diagnostic performance
of emergency physicians in identifying blunt
traumatic pneumothorax requiring early
decompression
Background Traumatic pneumothorax is a potentially life-threatening condition requiring timely diagnosis
and management, particularly in the prehospital setting where diagnostic tools are limited. This study aimed to
evaluate the diagnostic…

Association between polypharmacy at the emergency department and long-term mortality in critically ill older patients receiving mechanical ventilation: a single- center retrospective cohort study
Background Polypharmacy is increasingly prevalent among older adults, and is associated with adverse health
outcomes. However, its prognostic impact in emergency care settings remains unclear, particularly in critically ill
older patients requiring…

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…

Association between emergency department bed occupancy rate and in-hospital cardiac arrest in the emergency department: a retrospective study
Background In-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) is a critical event often preceded by signs of clinical deterioration.
Emergency department (ED) overcrowding may compromise timely monitoring and intervention and may be
associated with a higher…

Performance of a multistate teleradiology service in emergency pediatric and adolescent neuroimaging: a two-year retrospective study
Introduction Pediatric neuroradiology expertise is limited in many healthcare facilities, especially in the emergency
setting. Teleradiology offers a promising solution by providing remote access to subspecialty interpretation. Our study
aimed to…

Optimal timing of antibiotics administration for sepsis or septic shock in the emergency department
Objectives Early antibiotic administration is considered an important component of sepsis management, yet
the optimal time-to-antibiotics (T2A) remains uncertain. This study examined the association between T2A and
in-hospital mortality among…

Construction of an index system for assessing emergency department overcrowding in Chinese tertiary hospitals: a Delphi study
Background Emergency department crowding (EDC) is a global public health crisis associated with adverse patient-
and physician-related events. Currently, a reliable EDC assessment tool is lacking in China, as existing international
models cannot…
