Observational Study
Sepsis 3-hour bundle compliance and prognosis in emergency department patients aged 65 years or older.
To analyze 3-hour bundle compliance in for patients aged 65 years or older with sepsis treated in our emergency department (ED) and to explore the association between compliance and mortality. ⋯ Three-hour sepsis bundle compliance in the ED was associated with longer survival in patients aged 65 years or older.

To quantify and analyze mortality in patients who die within 30 days of discharge home from a hospital emergency department (ED). ⋯ Early deaths after discharge home from a hospital ED occured in patients of advanced age with concomitant conditions. The main clinical settings were neoplastic and cardiovascular disease. Seven-day and 30-day mortality rates directly related to the emergency visit were low. Adverse events related to ED care played a role in about a quarter of the deaths after discharge.
-
To determine survival to discharge and neurological outcomes on long-term follow-up of pediatric patients attended for out of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). ⋯ In spite of the low incidence of shockable rhythm in pediatric OHCA, survival with a good neurological outcome is comparable to survival in adults. Children who are discharged after OHCA maintained or improved their neurological function over the long term.

To estimate the association between disability and the demand for medical emergency care by citizens of Peru over the age of 18 years in 2019. ⋯ Disabled persons were more likely to have medical emergencies than persons without disabilities in Peru in 2019.
