Revisits, Readmission, and Mortality From Emergency Department Admissions for Older Adults With Vague Presentations: Longitudinal Observational Study

In this study, we focused on older adults in the ED with gray-area diagnoses as follows: diagnoses associated with clinical ambiguity or high rates of potentially preventable hospitalizations and variability in admissions [16,17].

Performance of an Electronic Health Record–Based Automated Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index Score Calculator: Cohort Study in the Emergency Department

Performance of an Electronic Health Record–Based Automated Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index Score Calculator: Cohort Study in the Emergency Department

—and the fact that the score can change over the course of ED evaluation, that is, due to changes in mental status and vital signs. A group from the Kaiser Permanente health system previously reported an automated clinical decision support (CDS) tool, which calculates the PESI score based on data already captured in the electronic health record [16].

Feasibility of Measuring Smartphone Accelerometry Data During a Weekly Instrumented Timed Up-and-Go Test After Emergency Department Discharge: Prospective Observational Cohort Study

Feasibility of Measuring Smartphone Accelerometry Data During a Weekly Instrumented Timed Up-and-Go Test After Emergency Department Discharge: Prospective Observational Cohort Study

A growing body of evidence indicates that these individuals face high risks of adverse outcomes after ED discharge, including falls [2] and functional decline [3]. While guidelines aim to identify those at risk of poor outcomes [4], existing fall risk screening tools using data at the time of the ED encounter have limited ability to predict which patients will fall [2].

Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Emergency Departments to Improve Wait Times: Protocol for an Integrative Living Review

Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Emergency Departments to Improve Wait Times: Protocol for an Integrative Living Review

Extended emergency department (ED) wait times are a major health care system problem worldwide [1-4]. Long wait times in the ED can threaten patients’ well-being, leading them to depart the ED without receiving the essential care they require. Additionally, this situation contributes to overcrowding within the ED and fosters a sense of dissatisfaction among both patients and ED personnel [2]. Previous studies have investigated many initiatives to reduce ED wait times.

Reduction of Mental Health–Related Emergency Department Admissions for Youth and Young Adults Following a Remote Intensive Outpatient Program: Quality Improvement Analysis

Reduction of Mental Health–Related Emergency Department Admissions for Youth and Young Adults Following a Remote Intensive Outpatient Program: Quality Improvement Analysis

Lo and colleagues [6] found that between 2007 and 2016, pediatric mental health ED visits rose 60%, while general pediatric ED visits remained unchanged. Similar increases were found in 2 additional studies of national data sets between 2006 and 2015, finding increases ranging from 48% to 54% [7,8]. The proportion of ED visits for mental health conditions further increased following COVID-19 [9].

Associations Between Online Pornography Consumption and Sexual Dysfunction in Young Men: Multivariate Analysis Based on an International Web-Based Survey

Associations Between Online Pornography Consumption and Sexual Dysfunction in Young Men: Multivariate Analysis Based on an International Web-Based Survey

In the ED group, 17.4% (77/443) and 4.5% (20/443) said that most or a lot of their sexual contact happened under the influence of alcohol or drugs, respectively, versus 6.50% (99/1523) and 1.97% (30/1523) of those without ED (P40% (77/176, 43.8%) were classified as having ED. There was no significant correlation between the use of antidepressants and ED in our study population (P=.08).
