A multicenter emergency department study found that CPES performed similarly to sPESI and ESC for short-term PE outcomes, but it better predicted the need for advanced intervention.
A retrospective cohort study reveals that stroke-related disability or mortality after ED discharge for dizziness is rare (0.04% incidence), with most lesions occurring in the anterior fossa. Findings underscore the need for targeted risk s
A novel sixth-gen hs-cTnT assay with a 13 ng/L threshold safely identified twice as many low-risk MI patients at ED presentation vs fifth-gen assays, achieving >99.5% NPV in multinational validation.
A multicenter study shows that observation with deferred CT decision-making significantly reduces CT use in children with blunt abdominal trauma, particularly in cases with intermediate clinician suspicion, without increasing missed injurie
This review synthesizes evidence on sex differences in syncope management, highlighting that while men face higher admission rates and adverse events, these disparities are largely driven by baseline clinical risk factors rather than gender
This study analyzes emergency department visit patterns among suicide decedents, identifying frequent users and a critical 30-day window for intervention after discharge.
This study analyzes how cancer diagnosis timing varies after an emergency department visit, finding that breast cancer faces the longest delays while ovarian cancer is often diagnosed immediately. Factors like comorbidities and primary care
This evidence-based review analyzes the adoption and clinical outcomes of telemedicine for post-ED follow-up, highlighting that while utilization is currently low (2.8%), it offers a safe alternative to in-person care without increasing ret
This study examines the timing and frequency of emergency department visits among individuals who died by suicide. Research identifies frequent ED use as a high-risk indicator and suggests that the 30-day window following an emergency visit
The first national assessment of US EMS agencies reveals a critical need for improved pediatric readiness. While equipment scores are high, significant gaps exist in quality improvement and family-centered care, with Pediatric Emergency Car
The ED INNOVATION trial reveals that 7-day extended-release injectable buprenorphine is safe and as effective as sublingual formulations for treatment engagement, offering significant benefits in craving reduction and patient satisfaction e
A retrospective study at Mayo Clinic reveals that children with a history of out-of-home placement experience 24% longer ED stays and double the odds of physical or pharmacological restraint during psychiatric emergencies compared to their
A Mayo Clinic study reveals that children with out-of-home placement histories face 24% longer ED stays and double the odds of being restrained during mental health crises, highlighting critical systemic disparities in pediatric emergency c
A randomized clinical trial of the Relay peer-navigator intervention in New York City found no significant reduction in opioid-related adverse events compared to standard care, despite high patient satisfaction and the intervention’s
A large-scale analysis of 2,027 US trauma centers reveals that Level I and II facilities consistently operate at over 80% occupancy, leaving the national trauma system dangerously ill-equipped to handle sudden mass casualty events or sustai
An in-depth look at the 2025 WSES Jerusalem Guidelines for acute appendicitis, focusing on new diagnostic scoring, the 24-hour surgical window, and optimized nonoperative management strategies.
New clinical trials reveal that adding acetaminophen or hydromorphone to ibuprofen provides no additional pain relief for children with acute musculoskeletal injuries, while the addition of opioids significantly increases the risk of advers
A prospective multicenter study demonstrates that using a single clinical question—whether pulmonary embolism is the most likely diagnosis—to adjust D-dimer thresholds can safely reduce chest imaging by 19% in emergency departments without
Researchers in England have developed and validated multivariable risk adjustment models for ROSC and survival following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. These models provide a robust framework for benchmarking EMS performance and driving qu
A 20-year analysis of 89,155 patients from the SWEDEHEART registry confirms that pre-hospital delay independently predicts short- and long-term mortality. Despite advances in reperfusion, women, elderly patients, and those with diabetes con
