Abstract

The goal of this investigation is to compare rates of admission from the emergency department (ED) and the characteristics of patients with intellectual disability (ID) who get admitted from the ED. This was a retrospective study using data from the United States' Nationwide Emergency Data Sample (NEDS) to investigate the associations between the diagnosis of ID and admission to the hospital in patients ≥ 18 years during the years 2016-2017. Adults with ID were almost four times as likely to be admitted to the hospital from the ED as patients who were not identified as having ID. Identifying the major contributors to increased admission for patients with ID may help improve their care.

本研究的目的是比较急诊科(ED)的入院率和从急诊科(ED)入院的智力残疾(ID)患者的特征。这是一项回顾性研究，使用来自美国全国急诊数据样本(NEDS)的数据，调查2016-2017年18岁以上患者的ID诊断与入院之间的关系。患有身份证的成年人从急诊科入院的可能性几乎是没有身份证的患者的四倍。确定导致身份证患者入院人数增加的主要因素可能有助于改善他们的护理。
