Factors infuencing conveyance of older adults with minor head injury by paramedics to the emergency department: a multiple methods study
Background: Head injury (HI) in older adults due to low-energy falls result in a substantial number of emergency
department (ED) attendances. However, mortality associated with minor HI is very low. Reducing conveyance to
hospital is important…

Early prediction model of brain death in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients: a single-center retrospective and internal validation analysis
Background: A shortage of donor organs amid high demand for transplantable organs is a worldwide problem, and
an increase in organ donation would be welcomed by the global healthcare system. Patients with brain death (BD)
are potential organ…

Association between variables measured in the ambulance and in-hospital mortality among adult patients with and without infection: a prospective cohort study
Background: Patients presenting with infection to the ambulance are common, but risk factors for poor outcome
are not known. The primary aim of the current study was to study the association between variables measured in
the ambulance and…

Usefulness of the d-dimer to albumin ratio for risk assessment in patients with acute variceal bleeding at the emergency department: retrospective observational study
Background: Acute variceal bleeding (AVB) is a severe complication of portal hypertension that is caused by rupture
of the esophageal or gastric varix. Scoring system for risk stratifcation of AVB is difcult to use because various variables must…

Trauma team training in Norwegian hospitals: an observational study
Background: Traumatic injuries are a leading cause of deaths in Norway, especially among younger males. Traumarelated mortality can be reduced by structural measures, such as organization of a trauma system. Many hospitals in
Norway treat few…

Time to recovery and its predictors among critically ill patients on mechanical ventilation from intensive care unit in Ethiopia: a retrospective follow up study
Introduction: For critically ill patients, mechanical ventilation is considered a pillar of respiratory life support. The
mortality of victims in intensive care units is high in resource-constrained Sub-Saharan African countries. The recovery
and…

The importance of elderly people knowing basic frst-aid measures
Background: In the event of a sudden illness or injury, elderly individuals are often dependent on self-help and
mutual assistance from partners. With poor access to medical services during natural and other disasters, the importance of frst aid…

Study of the value of homocysteine levels in predicting cognitive dysfunction in patients after acute carbon monoxide poisoning
Purpose: The purpose of this research was to assess the value of homocysteine (HCY) levels in predicting cognitive
dysfunction in patients after acute carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning.
Methods: A total of 115 patients who were admitted to the…

Shortening door-to-puncture time and improving patient outcome with workfow optimization in patients with acute ischemic stroke associated with large vessel occlusion
Objective: We aimed to evaluate door-to-puncture time (DPT) and door-to-recanalization time (DRT) without directing healthcare by neuro-interventionalist support in the emergency department (ED) by workfow optimization and
improving patients’…
