The objective of this review is to document global clinical and nonclinical research priorities. The Emergency Medicine Education and Research by Global Experts network, consisting of 22 sites across six continents, conducted a mapping review of publications on emergency medicine research priorities (2000-2022) across seven databases. We included studies with replicable methodologies for determining research priorities, excluding those limited to individual diseases. Three reviewers independently screened, selected, and categorized results into clinical and nonclinical topics. Discrepancies were resolved by an independent investigator and consensus. Outcomes measures and analysis include descriptive analysis of research priorities grouped into clinical and nonclinical topics, characteristics of publications including countries represented in the author list, target audience (such as researchers or policy makers), participants (e.g. patients), and methods (e.g. Delphi) of priority setting. Among 968 screened papers, 57 publications from all WHO regions were included. Most (36, 63%) had authors from only a single country, primarily in North America and Europe. Patient representatives were included in only 10 (18%). Clinical research priorities clustered into resuscitation, cardiology, central nervous system, emergency medical services, infectious disease, mental health, respiratory disease, and trauma. Distribution was broad in North America and Europe but focused on infectious diseases and resuscitation in Africa and Asia. Eleven nonclinical topics included access to care, health policy, screening/triage, social determinants of health, staffing, technology/simulation, shared decision making, cross-sectoral collaboration, education, patient-centered care, and research networks. Nonclinical topics were broad in Europe and America, focused on access to care and health screening in Africa, and mostly absent in other WHO regions. Published research priorities in emergency medicine are heterogeneous and geographically limited, mostly containing groups of authors from the same country.

They were excluded in presence of severity criteria defined by either an ICU admission, mechanical ventilation (including noninvasive ventilation), acute respiratory distress, or in-hospital death before sampling. Routine blood tests measured during usual care and centralized systematic measurement of creatine kinase, C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin, soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR), high-sensitive troponin T (TnT-hs), N terminal pro-B natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), calprotectin, platelet factor 4, mid-regional pro-adrenomedullin (MR-proADM), and proendothelin were performed.OUTCOME MEASURES AND ANALYSESThe primary outcome was STW, defined by a severity criteria within 7 days. A backward stepwise logistic regression model and a 'best subset' approach were used to identify independent association, and the area under the receiving operator characteristics (AUROC) was computed.RESULTSFive hundred and eleven patients were analyzed, of whom 60 (11.7%) experienced STW. Median time to occurrence of a severity criteria was 3 days. At admission, lower values of eosinophils, lymphocytes, platelets, alanine aminotransferase, and higher values of neutrophils, creatinine, urea, CRP, TnT-hs, suPAR, NT-proBNP, calprotectin, procalcitonin, MR-proADM, and proendothelin were predictive of worsening. Stepwise logistic regression identified three biomarkers significantly associated with worsening: CRP [adjusted odds ratio (aOR): 1.10, 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 1.06-1.15 for a 10-unit increase, AUROC: 0.73 (0.66-0.79)], procalcitonin [aOR: 0.42, 95% CI: 0.22-0.81, AUROC: 0.69 (0.64-0.88)], and MR-proADM [aOR: 2.85, 95% CI: 1.74-4.69, AUROC: 0.75 (0.69-0.81)].

Studies were identified using keyword and Medical Subject Heading searches on databases and grey literature, followed by abstract screening and study selection by two independent reviewers. Sixteen studies over six decades were included in the meta-analysis (n = 4569 patients). The prevalence of Type A thoracic aortic dissection was 11% (range 1.4-45.7%) and Type B dissection was 7% (range 1.8-30.55%).

For Type B dissection, the pooled sensitivity was 65% (95% CI, 45-80%) and specificity was 100% (95% CI, 0.69-100%). TTE indirect signs for dissection showed a pooled sensitivity of 64% (95% CI, 5.2-98.2%) and specificity of 94% (95% CI, 92-96.1%) for aortic valve regurgitation, a pooled sensitivity of 92% (95% CI 54-99.2%) and specificity of 87% (95% CI, 62-97%) for thoracic aortic aneurysm and a pooled sensitivity of 39% (95% CI 33.8-45%) and a specificity of 94% (95% CI, 92-95%) for pericardial effusion. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, bedside-focused TTE has a good specificity for Type A and B dissection, but poor sensitivity for Type B, and unclear for intramural haematoma and penetrating aortic ulcer.</p>","PeriodicalId":11893,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Emergency Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142079771","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
