This study is a retrospective cohort study that examines the association between weight-for-age percentile and pediatric admission incidence from the emergency department (ED) for all diagnoses. The charts of 1432 pediatric patients under 18 years with ED visits from 2013 to 2015 at a tertiary children’s hospital were reviewed. Analyses of subject age/weight stratifications were performed, along with ED disposition, reason for visit, and Emergency Severity Index (ESI). Multivariable logistic regression models were used to evaluate the independent effect of weight-for-age percentile on ED disposition while controlling for age, ESI, and reason for visit. Underweight subjects were more likely to be admitted than their normal weight counterparts when analyzed overall (odds ratio [OR] = 2.58, P < .01) and by age: less than 2.0 years of age (OR = 2.04, P = .033), between 2.01 and 6.0 years of age (OR = 8.60, P = .004), and between 6.01 and 13.0 years of age (OR = 3.83, P = .053). Younger age (OR = 0.935, P < .001) and higher acuity (OR = 3.49, P < .001) were also significant predictors of admission. No significant associations were found between weight and likelihood of admission for patients older than 13.01 years or between overweight/obese weight categories and admission for any age subgroups. This study suggests that underweight children younger than 13 years are at higher risk to be admitted from the ED than their normal weight, overweight, and obese counterparts. Even when controlling for other key factors, such as the ESI, a lower weight-for-age percentile was a reliable predictor of hospitalization.

The waiting time for patients in the emergency department to receive health services influences many processes in this department. This research aimed to determine the effect of implementation and deployment of emergency severity index (ESI) on the waiting time for patients to receive health services in the emergency department. This quasi-experimental study was performed on 736 patients who were referred to the emergency department of Imam Khomeini Hospital of Mahabad. For the ESI triage implementation, 368 patients were assigned to the pre-intervention group and 368 patients were selected for the post-intervention group, using a simple random sampling. Before and after the ESI triage implementation, the waiting time for patients to receive services was measured and recorded using a chronometer. For data analysis, Chi-square, Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used. Before and after the intervention, both groups were homogeneous in terms of demographic variables (p > 0.05). The results of Mann-Whitney test indicate that implementation of emergency severity index (ESI) has a positive effect on the decrease of average time intervals to provide health services, as well as on the entire length of stay in the emergency department (p < 0.05). Given the effect of the ESI triage implementation that reduced the waiting time for patients to receive health services, ESI is recommended for training nurses and other emergency staff.

The Relationship

The number of patients in Sido Waras Hospital Emergency Department declined since in 2013 until 2015 and the preliminary survey also showed there were complex complaints emergency department services. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between the service and the satisfaction of patients in Sido Waras Hospital Emergency Department.The concept of ESI Sido Waras Hospital Emergency Department namely provided categories of patients based on the gravity and duration of patient management.Therefore in this study to analyze the relationship with the ESI level of patient satisfaction in the Sido Waras Hospital Emergency Department. This study was a survey.Keywords : Emergency department, ESI level, patient satisfaction, service quality
