Abstract Background Emergency medical service patients are a vulnerable population and the risk of mortality is considerable. In Denmark, healthcare professionals receive 112-emergency calls and assess the main reason for calling. The main aim was to investigate which of these reasons, i.e. which symptoms or mechanism of injury, contributed to short-term risk of death. Secondary aim was to study 1–30 day-mortality for each symptom/ injury. Methods Historic population-based cohort study of emergency medical service patients calling 112 in the North Denmark Region between 01.01.2016–31.12.2018. We defined 1-day mortality as death on the same or the following day. The frequency of each symptom and cumulative number of deaths on day 1 and 30 together with 1- and 30-day mortality for each symptom/mechanism of injury is presented in proportions. Poisson regression with robust variance estimation was used to estimate incident rates (IR) of mortality with 95% confidence intervals (CI), crude and age and sex adjusted, mortality rates on day 1 per 100,000 person-year in the population. Results The five most frequent reasons for calling 112 were “chest pain” (15.9%), “unclear problem” (11.9%), “accidents” (11.2%), “possible stroke” (10.9%), and “breathing difficulties” (8.3%). Four of these contributed to the highest numbers of deaths: “breathing difficulties” (17.2%), “unclear problem” (13.2%), “possible stroke” (8.7%), and “chest pain” (4.7%), all exceeded by “unconscious adult – possible cardiac arrest” (25.3%). Age and sex adjusted IR of mortality per 100,000 person-year was 3.65 (CI 3.01–4.44) for “unconscious adult – possible cardiac arrest” followed by “breathing difficulties” (0.45, CI 0.37–0.54), “unclear problem”(0.30, CI 0.11–0.17), “possible stroke”(0.13, CI 0.11–0.17) and “chest pain”(0.07, CI 0.05–0.09). Conclusion In terms of risk of death on the same day and the day after the 112-call, “unconscious adult/possible cardiac arrest” was the most deadly symptom, about eight times more deadly than “breathing difficulties”, 12 times more deadly than “unclear problem”, 28 times more deadly than “possible stroke”, and 52 times more deadly than “chest pain”. “Breathing difficulties” and “unclear problem” as presented when calling 112 are among the top three contributing to short term deaths when calling 112, exceeding both stroke symptoms and chest pain.

Service Continuity

BACKGROUND Online medical services have become an effective supplement to traditional services in hospitals and an essential organization in medical service. Prior studies have revealed that it’s useful to shorten the delayed admission time and enhance the treatment effect from the service continuity perspective. However, what specific measures the patients and physicians should take to improve service continuity remains unknown. OBJECTIVE Based on the information richness theory and continuity of care, this study investigates the dynamic impacts of information continuity and interpersonal continuity on physician’ service online. METHODS Data of 7200 patients with 360 physicians covering complete interaction records is collected from a professional online platform in China. Content analysis is used to recognize matching patient and physician and least square regression analysis is used to get all empirical results. RESULTS Empirical results show that in the short term, information continuity (including offline experience, medical records, and detailed information) influences physicians’ online service. And, their influences show heterogeneity. Moreover, by recognizing if a patient’s online physician is the same physician who he has visited offline, we find that interpersonal continuity is also important for service. In the long term, information and interpersonal continuity positively improve service continuity by facilitating repeat purchases. CONCLUSIONS Overall, our findings not only shed new light on patient behavior online and cross-channel behavior, but also provide practical insights into improving continuity of care in OHCs.
