Overview

Retrospective analysis shows no difference in LOS for patients with hematologic malignancies, indicating need for improved triaging.

Key Points

  • To assess the benefits of direct admissions compared to admissions via the emergency department for patients with hematologic malignancies.
  • Conducted a retrospective analysis of patient records from January 2017 to April 2024.
  • Filtered encounters by ICD-10 codes for hematologic malignancy diagnoses.
  • Compared length of stay, demographics, and mortality rates between ED admissions and direct admissions.
  • Included 2319 patient encounters: 1022 admitted through ED and 1276 through direct admissions.
  • No significant difference in overall length of stay for ED vs. direct admissions (10.37 vs. 10.77 days, p = 0.41).
  • Higher in-hospital mortality for ED admits at 3.33% compared to 1.18% for direct admissions.
