Abstract Aims We investigated the incidence, risk factors, clinical characteristics, and outcomes of pulmonary embolism (PE) in patients with COVID-19 attending emergency departments (EDs), before hospitalization. Methods Results retrospectively reviewed all diagnosed PE 62 Spanish EDs (20% EDs, case group) during first outbreak. without non-COVID-19 were included as control groups. Adjusted comparisons for baseline acute episode made between cases randomly selected controls (1:1 ratio)....
To describe the sociodemographic characteristics of and health care resources used to treat patients aged 65 years or older who come hospital emergency departments (EDs) in Spain, according age groups.We studied phase-1 data for EDEN cohort (Emergency Department Elder Needs). Forty Spanish EDs collected on all were treated first 7 days April 2019. We registered information 6 5 function variables patients. For resource use we diagnostic, 13 therapeutic, physical structural variables, a total...
To define quality of care indicators and process standards for treating patients with COVID-19 in hospital emergency departments (EDs), to determine the level adherence during first wave 2020, detect factors associated different levels adherence.We selected by applying Delphi method. We then analyzed SIESTA cohort (registered Spanish Investigators Emergency Situations Team). This was comprised treated 62 hospitals March April 2020. Adherence compared according pandemic-related ED caseload...
Background: Physicians in the emergency department (ED) need additional tools to stratify patients with acute heart failure (AHF) according risk. Objective: To predict mortality using data that are readily available at ED admission. Design: Prospective cohort study. Setting: 34 Spanish EDs. Participants: The derivation included 4867 consecutive admitted during 2009 2011. validation comprised 3229 2014. Measurements: 88 candidate risk factors and 30-day mortality. Results: Thirteen...
We diagnosed 11 Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS) cases among 71,904 COVID patients attended at 61 Spanish emergency departments (EDs) during the 2‐month pandemic peak. The relative frequency of GBS ED was higher in (0.15‰) than non‐COVID (0.02‰) (odds ratio [OR] = 6.30, 95% confidence interval [CI] 3.18–12.5), as standardized incidence (9.44 and 0.69 cases/100,000 inhabitant‐years, respectively, OR 13.5, CI 9.87–18.4). Regarding clinical characteristics, olfactory–gustatory disorders were more...
Recent reports of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) developing pneumothorax correspond mainly to case describing mechanically ventilated patients. The real incidence, clinical characteristics, and outcome spontaneous (SP) as a form COVID-19 presentation remain be defined.Do the risk factors, outcomes SP in attending EDs differ compared without non-COVID-19 SP?This case-control study retrospectively reviewed all diagnosed (case group) 61 Spanish (20% EDs) them two control...
To analyze whether short-term outcomes are affected when patients diagnosed with acute heart failure (AHF) spend time in an emergency department observation unit (EDOU) before hospital admission.Baseline and episode data were collected for AHF the EDs of 15 Spanish hospitals. We analyzed crude adjusted associations between EDOU stay 30-day mortality (primary outcome) in-hospital a prolonged more than 7 days (secondary outcomes).A total 6597 median (interquartile range) age 83 (76-88 years)...
To describe the sociodemographic characteristics, comorbidity, and baseline functional status of patients aged 65 or older who came to hospital emergency departments (EDs) during first wave COVID-19 pandemic, compare them with findings for an earlier period analyze factors index episode that were related mortality.We studied data from EDEN-COVID cohort (Emergency Department Elder Needs During COVID-19) years treated in 40 Spanish EDs on 7 consecutive days. Nine variables, 18 comorbidities,...
To identify characteristics associated with a new fall in patient who received emergency department care after an accidental and to develop risk model predict repeated falls.The FALL-ER registry included falls patients over the age of 65 years treated 5 Spanish departments. Independent variables analyzed were at baseline, characteristics, immediate consequences, functional status on discharge. Patients followed telephone interviews for 6 months record occurrence falls. Multivariate...

Los estratificaron según gravedad descompensación mediante escala MEESSI analizó distribución dicha hospitalizados (en conjunto, e individualmente para los mayor...
To analyze factors related to the use of digoxin treat patients with acute heart failure (AHF) in emergency departments (EDs) and impact treatment on short-term outcomes.
Objectives To evaluate whether the Enhanced Feedback for Effective Cardiac Treatment ( EFFECT ) scale 30‐day prediction of mortality is applicable to elderly adults with acute heart failure AHF in emergency departments ED s) and discriminatory power added inclusion Barthel Index BI this ‐ scale). Design BI‐EFFECT a multipurpose, nonintervention, multicenter cohort study. Setting Twenty EDs. Participants Individuals aged 65 older AHF. Measurements Information on baseline episode...
To analyze the possible association between a finding of plasma alkalosis in patients diagnosed with acute heart failure (AHF) emergency department (ED) and in-hospital mortality. Cases AHF were identified registry for Epidemiology Acute Heart Failure Emergency Departments (EAHFE), which comprises entries 24 248 episodes 53 Spanish EDs. Studied cases those registered pH levels determined by analysis acid-base equilibrium ED. Patients group (AG) had greater than 7.45. Controls 7.35 We...
Emergency department discharge destination is an important topic in both clinical practice and management. This study aimed to analyze the association of Care Complexity Individual Factors (CCIFs) with destinations patients who visit emergency (ED). a retrospective cohort consecutive sampling, including all visited ED tertiary hospital during 2021-2022. Data were collected from electronic health records. The main outcomes (mortality, intensive care unit admission, hospitalization, left...
