Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore the effectiveness of a modified National Emergency Department Overcrowding Score (mNEDOCS) in pediatric emergency departments by examining its connections to other emergency department metrics.
- The retrospective analysis covered patient data from 2016-2019, revealing that higher mNEDOCS scores were linked to increased emergency department length of stay (ED LOS) and rates of patients leaving without being seen (LWBS), as well as a rise in return visits within 72 hours.
- The results indicate a positive relationship between mNEDOCS and certain ED outcomes consistent with adult findings, suggesting that further research is needed to clarify its impact on hospital length of stay (HLOS).
Background: This study reports national estimates of population characteristics and outcomes for patients with esophageal atresia with or without tracheoesophageal fistula (EA/TEF) and evaluates the relationships between hospital volume and outcomes.
Methods: Patients admitted within 30 days of life who had International Classification of Diseases, 9th Edition, Clinical Modification diagnosis and procedure codes relevant to EA/TEF during 1999-2012 were identified with the Pediatric Health Information System database. Baseline demographics, comorbidities, and postoperative outcomes, including predictors of in-hospital mortality, were examined up to 2 years after EA/TEF repair.
