Objectives: The purpose of the present study was to use telephone follow-up (TFU) to investigate the actions taken by patients after they took their own leave (TOL) from an ED, with a focus on priority groups who are at risk of experiencing health inequity. These included people experiencing homelessness (EH), people with a low socioeconomic status by index of relative socioeconomic disadvantage (IRSD) and First Nations people. The primary outcome was being seen by a general practitioner (GP) within 2 days of the TOL event. The utility of the TFU was also examined.

Methods: This was an observational study of data collected during a quality improvement intervention at an inner-city, tertiary, teaching hospital in Melbourne from January to December 2022. Descriptive results were obtained from a TFU survey that was administered 24-48 h after the TOL event.

Results: During the study period, 4209 patients TOL from the ED. Eight hundred forty-one of these were contacted and consented to the TFU survey. 97.7% of patients expressed gratitude at being followed up. Patients EH, compared to patients not EH, were less likely to have seen their GP within 2 days of TOL event (0.295 [0.132-0.661], P < 0.001). Both First Nations patients and those from low IRSD areas were as likely to have seen their GP within 2 days as other groups.

Conclusion: Patients EH were less likely to receive GP care within 2 days of TOL. Improving the access and acceptability of health care in these priority groups is important for achieving health equity.

研究目的本研究的目的是通过电话随访(TFU)调查患者从急诊室请假(TOL)后所采取的行动,重点关注有健康不公平风险的优先群体。这些群体包括无家可归者(EH)、社会经济地位较低者(按相对社会经济劣势指数(IRSD)计算)和原住民。主要结果是在 TOL 事件发生后 2 天内得到全科医生(GP)的诊治。此外,还对TFU的实用性进行了研究:这是一项观察性研究,研究对象是 2022 年 1 月至 12 月期间在墨尔本市中心一家三级教学医院进行质量改进干预期间收集的数据。结果:在研究期间,有4209人接受了TFU调查:研究期间,共有 4209 名患者从急诊室转院。结果:在研究期间,共有 4209 名患者从急诊室转出,其中 841 人联系并同意接受 TFU 调查。97.7%的患者对接受随访表示感谢。与非急诊科患者相比,急诊科患者在 TOL 事件发生后 2 天内看全科医生的可能性较低(0.295 [0.132-0.661],P 结论):EH患者在TOL发生后2天内接受全科医生治疗的可能性较低。改善这些重点人群获得医疗服务的机会和可接受性对于实现健康公平非常重要。

Objectives: Identify clinical and demographic characteristics of low-acuity presentations (LAPs) to the ED and analyse correlations between population rates of LAPs to ED and rates of Medicare-subsidised general practitioner (GP) services across statistical areas.

Methods: Retrospective data linkage study using state-wide ED data and publicly available data on GP services per population by statistical area. We performed multilevel logistic regression to determine predictors of LAP at an individual level after adjusting for remoteness categories and performed correlations between rates of LAP and GP services per population across statistical areas in New South Wales, Australia. The primary outcome was the rate of LAPs to ED, LAPs being defined as patients who self-presented to ED, assigned an Australasian Triage Score of 4 or 5 and subsequently discharged from ED.

Results: There were 2.9 million ED presentations in 2021, of which 39.9% presentations were classified as LAP. LAPs were associated with younger age, routine care, eyes, ear, nose and throat and musculoskeletal presentations. The rate of LAPs was higher in non-metropolitan areas. Additionally, 85% of LAPs were seen and discharged from ED within 4 h. There was an inverse correlation between the rate of Medicare-subsidised GP services and the rate of total ED or LAPs in non-metropolitan areas (ρ = -0.47, ρ = -056 and P = 0.012, P = 0.001, respectively). In metropolitan areas, correlations were either positive for all ED presentations (ρ = +0.41, P = 0.007) or not significant for LAPs (ρ = +0.18, P = 0.57).

Conclusions: A relationship between LAPs to ED and Medicare-subsidised GP episodes of care exists for non-metropolitan but not metropolitan areas.

目标:确定急诊室低危就诊者的临床和人口特征,分析急诊室低危就诊者的人口比例与医疗保险补贴的全科医生比例之间的相关性:确定急诊室低危就诊者(LAPs)的临床和人口特征,分析各统计区急诊室低危就诊者人口比率与医疗保险补贴全科医生(GP)服务比率之间的相关性:方法:使用全州范围内的急诊室数据和按统计地区划分的每个人口全科医生服务的公开数据进行回顾性数据链接研究。在对偏远地区类别进行调整后,我们进行了多层次逻辑回归,以确定个人层面的LAP预测因素,并对澳大利亚新南威尔士州各统计区的LAP率和人均全科医生服务进行了相关分析。主要结果是急诊室的LAP率,LAP的定义是自行到急诊室就诊的患者,澳大拉西亚分诊评分为4分或5分,随后从急诊室出院:2021 年共有 290 万人次到急诊室就诊,其中 39.9% 的就诊者被归类为 LAP。LAP与年龄较小、常规护理、眼耳鼻喉和肌肉骨骼相关。非大都市地区的 LAP 发生率更高。在非大都市地区,医疗保险补贴的全科医生服务率与急诊室总就诊率或急诊室就诊率呈反向关系(ρ = -0.47,ρ = -056,P = 0.012,P = 0.001)。在大都市地区,所有急诊室就诊病例的相关性均为正(ρ = +0.41,P = 0.007),或 LAPs 的相关性不显著(ρ = +0.18,P = 0.57):结论:在非大都市地区,急诊室就诊人次与医疗保险补贴的全科医生就诊人次之间存在关系,但大都市地区不存在这种关系。

Randomised trials have long been recognised as the gold standard research tool for evidence-based medicine. The past decade has seen the emergence of several innovative trial designs that are revolutionising how trials are conducted. These innovative designs enable more efficient, pragmatic trials that can address complex research questions which were previously not possible. In this paper, we provide an overview of the key innovative designs that are likely to be useful in the emergency medicine context, namely cluster crossover and stepped wedge designs, sequential multiple assignment randomised trial (SMART) designs, and platform trials. We describe the main features of each design, outline their pros and cons, and describe when they may or may not be useful. We also provide examples of these innovative designs in contexts that are relevant to emergency medicine.

长期以来,随机试验一直被公认为循证医学的黄金标准研究工具。在过去的十年中,出现了一些创新的试验设计,彻底改变了试验的开展方式。这些创新设计使试验更加高效、务实,可以解决以往无法解决的复杂研究问题。在本文中,我们将概述可能对急诊医学有用的主要创新设计,即分组交叉和阶梯楔形设计、连续多次分配随机试验(SMART)设计和平台试验。我们介绍了每种设计的主要特点,概述了它们的优缺点,并说明了它们在哪些情况下可能有用,哪些情况下可能没用。我们还将举例说明这些创新设计在急诊医学中的应用。

<p>Emergency medicine is sick. Right now, across Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand, EDs are overflowing with patients. Some have received all the care they need from ED staff, but are waiting to see busy inpatient specialists. Others are waiting for beds on wards that are already beyond capacity. Some tried to see their general practitioner when they became unwell a week ago, but there were no available appointments, and their condition worsened, necessitating an ED visit. Many have been assessed by the triage nurse as needing assessment within 30 minutes, but because of overcrowding, they will wait several hours; some will deteriorate before they see a doctor; occasionally, they will die waiting. Increasing numbers of the people waiting in the ED did not decide for themselves to come here: they are residents in understaffed aged care facilities with no after-hours medical care, and have been sent by ambulance after a fall or change in condition. They will spend 12 hours under fluorescent lights being needled by nurses, poked by physicians, missing medications and foregoing food, only to be sent home after a normal CT scan.

他还提醒我们,过度检查和低价值护理会导致急诊室过度拥挤并对患者造成伤害。他并不惧怕把自己的头放在护栏之上,他鼓励我们仔细思考代际公平问题:在人口老龄化的背景下,有限的医疗资源应如何分配,急诊医生又该承担怎样的责任?从根本上说,FACEM 的两位作者都认为,我们必须坚持急诊通科的使命,但也要愿意从根本上调整我们的系统和实践,以便为我们的社区和更广泛的社会提供最佳服务。要想治愈疾病,就必须立即采取果断行动,然后制定经过深思熟虑的长期战略。在了解全局的同时,还需要对细节有敏锐的洞察力。这需要培养牢固的关系,以及倡导和抗争的意愿。换句话说,这需要急诊医生的技能。

<p>Although Point of care Ultrasound (POCUS) use is widespread in EDs, there are no standardised training standards. A group of Australasian enthusiasts have produced a statement that encompasses current published and unpublished guidance for creating and maintaining robust POCUS programs in EDs. We publish two papers from the group that describe the processes they followed and the outcomes achieved. Their recommendations have five pillars of Infrastructure, Governance, Administration, Education and Quality. The guidelines are comprehensive and consideration should be given to adopting them as the benchmark for our specialty.</p><p>Joana Manton provides us with a fascinating literature review of the phenomenon of ED autoresuscitation. A systematic search of five databases with the keywords ‘autoresuscitation’, ‘cardiac arrest’ and ‘emergency department’ produced 240 papers and 26 cases. These then provided 26 cases of interest. The majority of people who auto-resuscitated did so within ten minutes of being pronounced dead. Eleven survivors were discharged neurologically intact. Only five patients had a bedside echocardiogram before resuscitation was stopped. Underreporting of autoresuscitation is suspected due to fears of blame. Passive monitoring for 10 min after resuscitation stops is recommended. There is need for more data on this phenomenon.</p><p>In recent years, the landscape of disasters, conflicts, and terror events has become more frequent and complex. Climate change, armed conflicts, terrorism, disinformation, cyber-attacks, inequality, and pandemics now present significant challenges to humanity. Emergency physicians today are likely to encounter ideologically motivated violent extremism or terrorist actions by radicalized lone actors. Terror medicine, distinct from disaster medicine, addresses the unique and severe injuries caused by terrorist incidents, including explosions, gunshots, and chemical agents. Understanding the broader public health implications of these attacks is crucial for emergency physicians to enhance community safety and resilience. We publish an excellent review that offers a comprehensive approach to understanding terror medicine, defining the concept of “terror,” its significance for emergency physicians, and the known health impacts on patients, healthcare workers, and responders.</p><p>Equitable access means that timely, sensitive, and respectful treatment is offered to all people. Adults with disability access ED care more frequently than the general population. However, in Australia and internationally, people with disability experience poorer healthcare access and outcomes than the general population. A team from Macquarie University offers us a systematic review of evaluated strategies implemented to improve care for people with disability in the ED.</p><p>Emergency physicians are often required to manage a diverse set of complex challenges; navigating direct patient care, systemic issues and inter-profe
尽管急诊室广泛使用护理点超声波 (POCUS),但却没有统一的培训标准。一组澳大拉西亚的热心人士撰写了一份声明,涵盖了当前已出版和未出版的指南,用于在急诊室创建和维护稳健的 POCUS 计划。我们发表了该小组的两篇论文,介绍了他们所遵循的流程和取得的成果。他们的建议包括基础设施、治理、行政、教育和质量五大支柱。Joana Manton 为我们提供了一篇关于急诊室自动复苏现象的精彩文献综述。以 "自动复苏"、"心脏骤停 "和 "急诊科 "为关键词对五个数据库进行了系统性检索,共检索到 240 篇论文和 26 个病例。这些文献提供了 26 个值得关注的病例。大多数自动复苏者都是在被宣布死亡后十分钟内完成的。有 11 名幸存者出院时神经系统完好。只有五名患者在停止复苏前进行了床旁超声心动图检查。由于担心受到指责,人们怀疑少报了自动复苏。建议在复苏停止后 10 分钟内进行被动监测。近年来,灾害、冲突和恐怖事件日益频繁和复杂。气候变化、武装冲突、恐怖主义、虚假信息、网络攻击、不平等和大流行病如今都给人类带来了重大挑战。如今,急诊医生很可能会遇到出于意识形态动机的暴力极端主义或激进的单独行动者的恐怖行动。恐怖医学有别于灾难医学,它针对的是恐怖事件造成的独特而严重的伤害,包括爆炸、枪击和化学制剂。了解这些袭击对公共卫生的广泛影响对于急诊医生加强社区安全和恢复能力至关重要。我们发表了一篇出色的综述,为理解恐怖医学提供了一种全面的方法,定义了 "恐怖 "的概念、其对急诊医生的意义,以及对患者、医护人员和应急人员的已知健康影响。与普通人相比,残疾成年人更经常获得急诊室护理。然而,在澳大利亚和国际上,残疾人获得医疗保健的机会和结果都比普通人要少。来自麦考瑞大学(Macquarie University)的一个研究小组为我们提供了一份系统性综述,介绍了为改善急诊室对残障人士的护理而实施的评估策略。急诊医生通常需要应对各种复杂的挑战;处理直接的患者护理、系统性问题和跨专业互动。人们公认,领导力对于优化患者护理的交付和质量至关重要。显然,我们有必要通过探究医生在急诊科领导力方面的经验和感知,进一步了解急诊科领导力的实际情况,但目前专注于这一领域的研究还很少。新南威尔士州的一篇论文报告了以人口为基础的肋骨骨折住院发病率和结果的长期趋势。共分析了 70 609 个病例。从 2015 年到 2022 年,肋骨骨折住院人数增加了 25%。45-65岁和65-85岁年龄组的病例比例最高。按人口计算,发病率每年增加 2%。在对年龄、合并症和受伤严重程度进行调整后,2015 年至 2022 年间观察到的 30 天死亡率没有明显趋势。从明年起,我们将仅以数字格式出版。在此过程中,我们将采用一种名为 "连续出版"(Continuous Publication)的制作和出版方式。简单地说,这意味着论文制作完成后将立即在线出版,并自动分配到开放的期刊上,而不是像现在这样分配到未来的特定期刊上。因此,"早期视图 "部分将变得多余,并从您的屏幕上消失。连续出版 "还涉及其他一些技术问题,但这些问题对在线阅读和访问期刊的方式影响甚微。读者还将看到发表稿件的新样式和新格式以及新字体。告别并感谢印刷版期刊。

A group of Australasian enthusiasts have produced a statement that encompasses current published and unpublished guidance for creating and maintaining robust POCUS programs in EDs. We publish two papers from the group that describe the processes they followed and the outcomes achieved. Their recommendations have five pillars of Infrastructure, Governance, Administration, Education and Quality. The guidelines are comprehensive and consideration should be given to adopting them as the benchmark for our specialty.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Joana Manton provides us with a fascinating literature review of the phenomenon of ED autoresuscitation. A systematic search of five databases with the keywords ‘autoresuscitation’, ‘cardiac arrest’ and ‘emergency department’ produced 240 papers and 26 cases. These then provided 26 cases of interest. The majority of people who auto-resuscitated did so within ten minutes of being pronounced dead. Eleven survivors were discharged neurologically intact. Only five patients had a bedside echocardiogram before resuscitation was stopped. Underreporting of autoresuscitation is suspected due to fears of blame. Passive monitoring for 10 min after resuscitation stops is recommended. There is need for more data on this phenomenon.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In recent years, the landscape of disasters, conflicts, and terror events has become more frequent and complex. Climate change, armed conflicts, terrorism, disinformation, cyber-attacks, inequality, and pandemics now present significant challenges to humanity. Emergency physicians today are likely to encounter ideologically motivated violent extremism or terrorist actions by radicalized lone actors. Terror medicine, distinct from disaster medicine, addresses the unique and severe injuries caused by terrorist incidents, including explosions, gunshots, and chemical agents. Understanding the broader public health implications of these attacks is crucial for emergency physicians to enhance community safety and resilience. We publish an excellent review that offers a comprehensive approach to understanding terror medicine, defining the concept of “terror,” its significance for emergency physicians, and the known health impacts on patients, healthcare workers, and responders.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Equitable access means that timely, sensitive, and respectful treatment is offered to all people. Adults with disability access ED care more frequently than the general population. However, in Australia and internationally, people with disability experience poorer healthcare access and outcomes than the general population. A team from Macquarie University offers us a systematic review of evaluated strategies implemented to improve care for people with disability in the ED.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Emergency physicians are often required to manage a diverse set of complex challenges; navigating direct patient care, systemic issues and inter-profe","PeriodicalId":11604,"journal":{"name":"Emergency Medicine Australasia","volume":"36 6","pages":"805"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1742-6723.14520","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142644195","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
