The burden of mental and behavioral health visits to the pediatric ED: A 3-year tertiary care center experience
Background
The shortage of mental health services across the United States has turned pediatric emergency departments (PEDs) into safety-nets for the increasing population of children with mental and behavioral health (MBH) needs. This study provides a descriptive characterization of MBH-related PED visits, the trends in visit, ED length of stay (EDLOS), and admission rate.
Methods
We reviewed electronic health records of children ≤18 years with MBH needs, who visited the PED of a large tertiary hospital from January 2017 to December 2019. We performed descriptive statistics, chi-square (χ2), and logistic regression analyses to evaluate trend in visit, EDLOS, admission rate, and predictors of prolonged EDLOS and inpatient admission.
Results
Of 10,167 patients, 58.4% were females, median age was 13.8 years, and 86.1% were adolescents. On average, visits increased by 19.7% annually, with a 43.3% increase over 3 years. Common ED diagnoses include, suicidality (56.2%), depression (33.5%), overdose/poisoning, and substance use (18.8%), and agitation/aggression (10.7%). Median EDLOS was 5.3 hr, average admission rate was 26.3%, with 20.7% boarding in the ED for >10 hr. Independent predictors of admission include depression (pOR: 1.5, CI: 1.3–1.7), bipolar disorder (pOR: 3.5, CI: 2.4–5.1), overdose/substance use disorder (pOR: 4.7, CI: 4.0–5.6), psychosis (pOR: 3.3, CI: 1.5–7.3), agitation/aggression (pOR: 1.8, CI: 1.5–2.1), and ADHD (pOR: 2.5, CI: 2.0–3.0). Principal independent driver of prolonged EDLOS was patient admission/transfer status (pOR: 5.3, CI: 4.6–6.1).
Conclusions
Given the study results, MBH-related PED visits, ED length-of-stay, and admission rates continue to rise even in recent years. PEDs lack the resources and capability to provide high-quality care for the increasing population of children with MBH needs. Novel collaborative approaches and strategies are urgently needed to find lasting solutions.
期刊介绍:
Child and Adolescent Mental Health (CAMH) publishes high quality, peer-reviewed child and adolescent mental health services research of relevance to academics, clinicians and commissioners internationally. The journal''s principal aim is to foster evidence-based clinical practice and clinically orientated research among clinicians and health services researchers working with children and adolescents, parents and their families in relation to or with a particular interest in mental health. CAMH publishes reviews, original articles, and pilot reports of innovative approaches, interventions, clinical methods and service developments. The journal has regular sections on Measurement Issues, Innovations in Practice, Global Child Mental Health and Humanities. All published papers should be of direct relevance to mental health practitioners and clearly draw out clinical implications for the field.
