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…

SVEAT score for early risk stratification of acute
chest pain: a multicenter study
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…

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…

Identifying patients transported by helicopter emergency medical services using the International Classification of Diseases (ICD)- 11: a scoping review
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).

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…

The preventive effect of emergency
psychological intervention on post-traumatic
stress disorder (PTSD) in patients with acute
spinal cord injury: a retrospective cohort
study
Introduction Acute spinal cord injury (ASCI) often leads to severe disability and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD),
yet evidence on early psychological prevention during the emergency stage is limited.
Aim This study aimed to evaluate whether…

Diagnostic performance of procalcitonin and presepsin in sepsis: a systematic review and meta-analysis
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…

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…

Identifying 20 homogeneous clusters
of acute patients discharged with nonspecific
diagnoses through k-prototypes mixed data
clustering
Background Patients discharged with nonspecific diagnoses after acute hospital care are frequent and represent
potential diagnostic uncertainty at discharge. Adverse outcomes indicate missed diagnoses with a potential for
improving patient safety.…

Learning from the past: a scoping review of hospital disaster preparedness assessment
Background Despite the recognized importance of hospital disaster preparedness (HDP), efforts to improve it
have been limited. Improvement in HDP will need an in-depth comprehension of the prevailing gaps in addition to
evidence of the best…
