Implication

Retrospective cohort study shows longer ED length of stay and poorer in-hospital outcomes in males, suggesting significant sex differences in emergency care.

Key Points

Male patients experienced longer ED length of stay and higher in-hospital mortality compared to females.
Multivariate regression analysis indicated that being male is an independent risk factor for adverse outcomes.
The male cohort had a higher prevalence of comorbidities and was older than the female cohort.
Findings highlight the need for targeted interventions in emergency care based on sex differences.
