Meta Analysis
Predictive power of early-warning scores used in hospital emergency departments: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
To assess the predictive power of scores used in hospital emergency departments (EDs) to give early warning of risk for mortality and hospital ward or intensive care unit (ICU) admission. ⋯ Early warning scores used in hospital EDs are able to predict risk of early and in-hospital mortality.

Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage induced by inhalation of chemicals: a case report and review of the literature.
-
To study the impact of the first COVID-19 pandemic wave state of emergency on qualitative and quantitative indicators of demand for the services of a hospital emergency department. ⋯ Overall demand for emergency care for adults fell during the first COVID-19 pandemic wave state of emergency in Spain. Lower priority emergencies for less serious problems saw the greatest decreases. We also saw a decrease in the use of time-dependent procedures.

Observational Study
Potential capacity of an emergency dispatch center to predict COVID-19-related hospital and intensive care unit admissions.
To analyze the association between the perceived care demand in the emergency call center of Castilla La Mancha (and hospital and ICU admissions for COVID-19, as well as their temporal characteristics, to explore its potential capacity as a predictive tool for COVID hospital admissions. ⋯ We have found an association between the number of calls to a CCUE due to dyspnea, fever, general discomfort, diarrhea and the number of calls with hospital admissions and ICU for COVID-SARS-2 2 weeks in advance, mainly due to general discomfort and diarrhea. The design of predictive expert systems and their automation using artificial intelligence could be part of the preparation, planning and anticipation programs of health systems in the near future in the event of future pandemics.
