• W4317802022 abstract "Palliative care patients often present to the emergency department (ED) for various reasons e.g., acute illness, pain, altered mental status, and complications of therapy. Many visits involve less severe etiologies e.g., dyspnea, constipation, fear as patients approach the end of life, which may be more effectively and efficiently managed outside of the ED. The objective of this study is to identify and assess the frequency of presenting complaints, primary diagnosis, triage acuity, need for admission, in an Irish setting.A single-center retrospective, observational study of palliative care patients presenting to a tertiary-care university hospital emergency department in Dublin, Ireland. Study subjects were identified using the palliative care database and cross-referencing with the ED electronic patient record system database. The primary objective to identify potential areas to minimize ED visits and improve patient care and quality of life by elucidating reasons for visits. Outcome measures include presenting complaint, primary diagnosis, triage severity score, admission, discharge, death in hospital. Statistical analysis presented as descriptive statistics.Four-hundred-ninety-nine ED visits, 245 (49%) were male, and 254 (51%) were female with a mean age of 69.3 years-of-age. Most patients, 285 (57.1%) self-referred to the emergency department, with general practitioners and skilled nursing facility referrals 72 (14.4%) and 39 (7.8%), respectively. Primary diagnoses were various cancers, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, congestive heart failure, and dementia. Major reasons for visits were dyspnea, pain, falls, trauma, fever, and altered mental status. Two-hundred-eighty-nine patients (58%) had an emergency severity index (ESI) score of 1 or 2 demonstrating a higher level of acuity. Three-hundred-fifty-eight (71.7%) were admitted, 141 (28.3%) discharged to home, 64 (12.8%) admitted patients died during their hospital admission.Palliative care patients utilize ED services not uncommonly. Though many of these patients presented with higher acuity triage scores, 42% had lower ESI scores and may be effectively managed outside of the ED. These data suggest developing mechanisms for these patients to be urgently evaluated in their homes or facilities obviating the need for an ED evaluation." @default.
