Abstract

Introduction: This report presents characteristics of emergency department (ED) visits by age group, sex, race and ethnicity, payment source, and mention of COVID-19, using data from the 2022 National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NHAMCS).

Methods: Data for this report are from NHAMCS, an annual, nationally representative survey of nonfederal, general, and short-stay hospitals. Data analyses were performed using the statistical packages SAS version 9.4 and SAS-callable SUDAAN. Two-tailed t tests with a significance level of p < 0.05 were used to determine statistically significant differences between ED visit rates.

Key findings: The overall ED visit rate was 47 visits per 100 people in 2022, and the ED visit rates were highest for infants younger than age 1 year (99 visits per 100 infants) and adults ages 75 and older (76 per 100 adults). The ED visit rate for Black or African American non-Hispanic people (91) was the highest among the selected racial and ethnic groups. In 2022, a COVID-19 diagnosis was confirmed for 4.8% of all ED patient visits.

按选定特征分列的急诊室就诊率：美国，2022 年。

导言：本报告利用 2022 年全国医院非住院医疗护理调查（NHAMCS）的数据，按年龄组、性别、种族和民族、付款来源以及 COVID-19 的提及情况，介绍了急诊科（ED）就诊的特点：本报告的数据来自 NHAMCS，这是一项针对非联邦医院、综合医院和短期住院医院的年度全国代表性调查。数据分析使用 SAS 9.4 版和可调用 SAS 的 SUDAAN 统计软件包进行。采用显著性水平为 p < 0.05 的双尾 t 检验来确定急诊室就诊率之间的显著差异：2022 年的总体急诊室就诊率为每 100 人 47 次，1 岁以下婴儿（每 100 名婴儿 99 次）和 75 岁及以上成人（每 100 名成人 76 次）的急诊室就诊率最高。非西班牙裔黑人或非裔美国人的急诊室就诊率（91）是所选种族和族裔群体中最高的。2022 年，4.8% 的急诊室就诊患者确诊了 COVID-19。
