Myelofibrosis and Pancytopenia Associated With Primary Hyperparathyroidism.

Last Breath in the Emergency Department.

Background: Early and aggressive time to intervention has been shown to increase the odds of survival and decrease mortality in critically ill patients. Since emergency medicine is a nascent specialty in India, a review and assessment of the mortality profile in the Emergency Department (ED) would help improve the quality of care.

Aims: The aim of the study is to determine the mortality profile and causes of preventable deaths at large ED in South India.
