Objectives: To analyze whether urinary catheterization in a hospital emergency department (ED) affects short-term prognosis in patients with acute heart failure (AHF).
Material and methods: We prospectively recorded baseline and other clinical data in a consecutive cohort of ED patients treated for AHF. Crude and adjusted associations were calculated between catheterization and a primary composite outcome (30-day readmission for AHF and/or death) and secondary outcomes (in-hospital mortality, urinary tract infection [UTI], and duration of hospital stay.).
Results: Nine hundred ninety-one patients were admitted for AHF. The mean (SD) age was 66 (10.5) years; 71% were women. Catheterization was required for 29.2% in the ED. The primary composite outcome was observed in 7.7% of the patients who were not catheterized and 12.8% of the catheterized patients (P = .02). In-hospital mortality occurred in 5.9% and 9.7% of non-catheterized and catheterized patients, respectively (P = .04), and UTIs occurred in 19.1% and 26.6% (P = .01). Twelve of the non-catheterized patients (1.7%) were readmitted for AHF (vs 11 (3.8%) of the catheterized patients (P = .06), and there were no differences between the groups in hospital stay (11 vs 10.9 days, P = .78). In the adjusted analysis of associations between catheterization and the primary outcome the odds and hazard ratios (OR and HR, respectively) were OR, 1.7 (95% CI, 1.1-2.7) (P = .02) and HR, 1.6 (95% CI, 1.1-2.5) (P = .03). For secondary outcomes, significant associations emerged between catheterization and UTIs (OR, 1.8 [95% CI, 1.1-2.2]; P = .008) and readmission for AHF (OR, 2.9 [95% CI, 1.2-7.3]; P = .02).
Conclusion: Routine insertion of a urinary catheter in patients with AHF in the ED is associated with worse 30-day clinical outcomes.

Objectives: Workplace violence of any type is influenced by multiple factors and leads to physiological, psychological, social, and organizational change. Emergency and other urgent care settings have assault rates up to 5-fold higher than other health care settings. This study aimed to analyze the consequences of physical and nonphysical violence on health care and support personnel in hospital emergency departments.
Material and methods: Cross-sectional descriptive analysis of responses to a 121-item survey of 584 health care and support workers in 12 Spanish hospital emergency departments. We analyzed the magnitude of the problem with a two-step self-clustering method and then assessed the associations between variables and workplace violence.
Results: Two groups were identified. The first consisted of 298 cases with high mean (SD) scores for nonphysical assaults (51.5 [7.9]) and low scores for physical violence (4.8 [2.9]). The second group consisted of 285 cases with intermediate scores for nonphysical assaults (27.1 [8.4]) and low scores for physical violence (3.4 [1.3]).
Conclusion: Emergency departments have incidents of nonphysical workplace violence more often than physical violence. Emergency personnel with high exposure to workplace violence, particularly nonphysical assaults, experience physiological, psychosocial, and organizational changes.
