“…The most common causes of trauma are in-vehicle traffic accidents, falls, pedestrians, motorcycle accidents and sharp object injuries [15,[24][25][26][27]. In our study, the most common causes were in-vehicle traffic accidents (33.7%), falls (28.7%) and extravehicular traffic accidents (24.8%).…”

“…Studies indicate that low GCS in trauma is important in predicting mortality and the best predictive power would be 5.5 [1,6]. In similar studies, Mpe et al [27] reported that GCS values of 4 or less at admission to the intensive care unit were poor prognosis. Our mean GCS scores in the surviving group was higher, similar to the reports in the literature.…”

“…[28] Teoh et al [29] studied 1390 patients who were treated in intensive care units and followed up for 4 years, and found a significant relationship between the GCS score and mortality. Mpe et al [30] conducted a retrospective study and found that the mortality rate was high in trauma patients, the prognosis of patients with a GCS value of 4 and below at admission to the intensive care unit was poor, and that very few patients with low GCS values were able to fully recover. [30] In the present study, the mean GCS of patients who died was low; 17 of the 18 cases of mortality had a GCS below 9.…”

BACKGROUND: Several scoring systems have been and continue to be developed in numerous countries with the goal of quickly and accurately assessing the severity of trauma injuries. The aim of this study was to identify factors that help to determine the gravity of damage and to minimize it, in order to reduce mortality and morbidity. It is important that the criteria set for the determination of the severity of trauma are objective, measurable, and comparable. This study was an assessment of the contribution of vital signs, hemogram values, and trauma severity scores recorded at initial admission in the prediction of mortality in patients with firearm trauma wounds. METHODS:This was a retrospective cohort study. Patients with gunshot injuries who were admitted to the emergency department (ED) of a single facility between December 2015 and March 2016 were included in the study. Statistical software was used to perform bivariate analyses using a t-test or the Mann-Whitney U test for continuous variables, depending on the distribution of variables, and logistic regression analysis was utilized to determine independent predictors of mortality after ED admission. A p value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS:A total of 418 patients were included. A statistically significant difference was found between the white blood cell count, respiratory rate, Glasgow Coma Scale score, Abbreviated Injury Scale score, and the Injury Severity Score (ISS) of the patients who survived and those who died (p<0.05). The analysis also indicated that a systolic blood pressure below 90 mmHg and a heart rate above 100 beats/minute were independent variables in terms of the expectation of mortality. CONCLUSION:The objective assessment of the ISS at admission to the ED is an important element in the calculation of hemoglobin requirements, mortality, and morbidity.

“…In their study, Chalfie et al (11) showed that delays in admission to emergency services negatively affect the duration of hospital stay and mortality. Patient outcomes heavily depend on the timely intervention for critically ill patients (12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18). Thus, prolonged ICU admission time may be an important factor affecting the patient outcomes.…”

Aim: Failure in hospitalization of intensive care unit (ICU) patients, directly affect the emergency department processing and the clinics of the patients negatively. In this retrospective study, we analyzed patients admitted to the emergency department ICUs. Materials and Methods:In this study, a total of 388 patients who were treated in an emergency ICU of a university hospital for a year were screened retrospectively. The duration of hospitalization and outcomes were compared with those of patients treated in the other ICUs of the hospital. The effect of emergency ICU on the number of patients sent to another hospital because of the lack of empty beds in the ICU and mortality were evaluated. Results:The ratio of the patients treated in the emergency ICU constituted 19.2% of the patients hospitalized in all ICUs of our hospital (n=2108). The number of patients who were admitted to the ICU of another hospital because of the lack of empty beds was 374. The duration of emergency ICU stay was too long (489.49 minute). The shortest duration of stay was observed in patients admitted to the coronary and neurology ICUs (267.36 and 349.36 minute, respectively). Conclusion:Our study revealed that emergency ICUs significantly reduces the number of referrals to the ICUs of another hospital and the duration of the emergency service follow-up period.
