Title

Effective strategies for reducing patient length of stay in the emergency department: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Description

Overcrowding is a common issue in emergency departments worldwide. One condition associated with overcrowding is the Emergency Department Length of Stay(EDLOS). Prolonged EDLOS is linked to increased hospitalization costs, worsening clinical outcomes, and deterioration in patient-reported outcomes. Consequently, there is a need to reduce EDLOS, and the scientific literature reports multiple strategies aimed at this goal. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine strategies statistically significant in reducing the EDLOS.
