We have focused on discharges from the internal medicine ED.
In another example, we found significant increases in the rates of ED visits and hospitalizations among African Americans for multiple cause categories, including heat-related, electrolyte imbalance, acute renal failure, internal causes (ED only), and nephritis (hospitalizations only).
HR, heart rate; LV, left ventricle; ID, internal diameter; ED, end-diastole; ES, end-systole; s, systole; d, diastole; PW, posterior wall; AW, anterior wall; Vol, volume; EF, ejection fraction; FS, fractional shortening.
We found significantly increased rates of internal-cause ED visits for each of the three age groups and for all race/ethnicity groups statewide (with the exception of Native American/Alaska Native) ranging from RR = 1.02 (95% CI, 1.01 1.04) for African Americans to RR = 1.04 (95% CI, 1.03, 1.05) for the Latino/Hispanic group.
The complete method was validated on a synthetic powder and three laboratory mid-ocean ridge glassy internal standards (CH98 DR12, ED DR46 1-6 and ED DR26 type 1).
It has been suggested that bedside ultrasound of the internal jugular vein in ED before other radiologic imaging, may lead to rapid diagnosis and treatment of Lemierre syndrome.
Unplanned ICU transfers included any transfers from the internal medicine ward or ED to a medical or cardiac ICU requiring an ICU length of stay >24 hours.
In an internal medicine department and an ED it has been found that patients had difficulties recalling newly prescribed medication.
This variable represented the specific type of unit where the patient was evaluated in the ED such as internal medicine or surgical.
