Characteristics of migrant workers admitted from the emergency department.

Introduction: Emergency department (ED) admissions for non-work-related injuries and illnesses in the migrant worker (MW) population in Singapore are not well studied. We aimed to examine ED triage acuity and bills associated with admissions among MW for non-trauma, workplace injury (WI) trauma, and non-workplace injury (NWI) trauma.

Methods: In this retrospective observational study, we included all work permit holders admitted to hospital via the ED of three public hospitals from 1 May 2016 to 31 October 2016.

Headache in the Emergency Department: A Multicenter Observational Study from Singapore.

: There is scarce data about the epidemiology, clinical features, investigations, diagnosis, treatment, and outcome in patients attending Singapore emergency departments (EDs) with nontraumatic headache. We sought to describe these characteristics of adult patients presenting to the ED with a primary complaint of headache. : We performed a cross-sectional study on adult patients with nontraumatic headache over 4 consecutive weeks from 18 March 2019 to 14 April 2019 across four EDs in Singapore.

Early predictors for the diagnosis of liver abscess in the emergency department.

Diagnosing pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) in the emergency department (ED) is challenging due to its non-specific clinical presentation. We aim to identify predictors that aid in diagnosis of PLA in ED patients. This retrospective chart review included patients diagnosed with PLA in a tertiary hospital between January 2008 and December 2012.
