Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the phenomenon of patients leaving emergency departments (ED) in Ireland without being seen, known as "did not wait" (DNW) cases.
- A total of 871 DNW patients were noted out of 11,662 attendances, with key trends showing that lower triage categories, night, and weekend visits increased the likelihood of patients leaving without assessment.
- The findings highlight that delays in providing timely care result in this trend, posing risks to both patients’ health and the effectiveness of healthcare providers.
