Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the experiences of persons with obesity (PwO) in Ontario's emergency departments, highlighting a gap in existing research on this topic.
- An analysis of data from 2018-2022 revealed that PwO faced significantly longer wait times and lengths of stay compared to matched controls, with PwO waiting 4.8 minutes longer and staying an average of 3.56 hours longer in the emergency department.
- The findings suggest that PwO were often rated as less urgent, which may contribute to their increased wait times; further research is needed to explore these disparities across different provinces and to understand the clinical implications.
