摘要

背景“身体不适”的病人是常见的表现。方法我们研究了6年来所有ED“不适”入院患者，用逻辑回归法评估影响死亡率的因素。结果在49965例入院患者中，3650例（7.3%）的ED诊断为“不适”。“不舒服”的表现年龄较大，住院时间较长。死亡率分别为4.2%和4.6%（p=0.28）。呼吸系统患者和>=70岁患者的死亡率分别增加了8.3%（95%置信区间：5.9%，10.6%）和7.1%（5.7%，8.4%）。身体不适可预测更好的结果-单变量OR 0.35（95%CI:0.24052），多变量OR 0.68（95%CI=0.44,1.03）；临床轨迹和结果的差异足以排除作为一种策略的有针对性的入院回避。

The 'Unwell' clinical presentation- an opportunity for admission avoidance?

BACKGROUND An 'unwell' patient is a common presentation. METHODS We studied all ED 'unwell' admissions over 6 years, assessing factors influencing mortality with logistic regression. RESULTS From 49,965 admissions, the ED diagnosis was 'unwell' in 3650 (7.3%). 'Unwell' presentations were older and had longer length of stay. Mortality was not different 4.2% vs 4.6 % (p=0.28). Respiratory patients and those >=70 years had increased mortality, 8.3% (95%CI: 5.9%, 10.6%) and 7.1% (5.7%, 8.4%) respectively. Being unwell predicted a better outcome - univariate OR 0.35 (95%CI: 0.24, 0.52), multivariable OR 0.68 (95%CI: 0.44, 1.03). CONCLUSION A diagnosis of 'unwell' applied to a heterogenous group; clinical trajectories and outcomes were sufficiently different to preclude targeted admission avoidance as a strategy.
