- - The study investigated how aging and disease pathology impact the severity of patient conditions while waiting for medical care, focusing on 421 patients at an outpatient clinic in northeastern Thailand during April 2021.
- - Using assessments by triage nurses and interviews, it found that while most patients experienced no change in severity, older adults showed increased levels of severity, influenced by factors like age, chronic conditions, and travel duration.
- - The researchers recommend closer monitoring of older patients during wait times and suggest implementing rescreening policies and specific guidelines to enhance early detection and treatment, aiming to reduce health complications.
