- W2788930586 abstract "Background The global agenda does not address a significant amount of preventable death in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). While illnesses requiring acute care are increasing at an alarming rate in these countries, there are inadequate numbers of physicians or nurses to deal with the growing burden. Many people feel that emergency systems are too expensive and restricted in scope to have public health implications in resource-limited areas. Little empirical data exists to suggest otherwise. The goal of this study was to delineate the type and frequency of emergency conditions and define a novel method to estimate the burden of emergency diseases in Fort Liberte, Haiti. Methods A retrospective, cross-sectional medical record review was performed on all emergency room visits to Fort Liberte Hospital in 2009 and 2010. The type, frequency, and annual incidence of emergency conditions were identified and used to determine the burden of emergency disease. A disability-adjusted life year (DALY) calculation was estimated using a variation on a model of indirect national data extrapolation to cities. Results Nineteen months of data available yielded 2000 charts with 2284 diagnoses in total. Trauma was the most common illness at 13% of all charts, followed by abdominal pain at 11%, gastroenteritis at 8%, skin and soft tissue infections at 7%, and hypertension at 6%. The DALY calculation showed disability from emergency conditions to be five times that of HIV, malaria, and TB combined. Conclusions Sufficient emergency burden of disease affects population health in Fort Liberte, Haiti to warrant addressing it as a public health concern. The kinds of conditions described in this review may be amenable to task shifting as a feasible, sustainable, and scalable way to address the burden in a cost-effective manner." @default.
