Why the study?
Does severe acute hypertension affect in-hospital mortality, need for mechanical ventilation, and length of stay in adults admitted from the emergency department?
Does severe acute hypertension affect in-hospital mortality, need for mechanical ventilation, and length of stay in adults admitted from the emergency department?
Severe acute hypertension is common among patients admitted from the emergency department and is associated with increased in-hospital mortality (especially in nervous system diseases), need for mechanical ventilation, and prolonged length of stay.
