Quasi-experimental assessment demonstrates improved survival in patients using emergency care units in Rwanda, indicating significant benefits.
Emergency care systems in Rwanda are critical for managing acute medical conditions effectively. However, their performance varies significantly across different regions and facilities. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative data from ECUs with qualitative insights from interviews with healthcare providers. Data were analysed using logistic regression to assess the impact of ECU performance on clinical outcomes. ECU patients had a mortality rate reduction of 20% compared to non-ECU settings (95% confidence interval, -18% to -23%). This study highlights the effectiveness of Rwanda's emergency care units in improving patient survival and healthcare utilization. Further research should focus on long-term outcomes and cost-effectiveness analyses. Treatment effect was estimated with logit(pᵢ)=β₀+β^ Xᵢ, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
