Promoting outcomes in the emergency department
Abstract
Older adults' emergency departments (EDs) visits increase globally. Since the patterns of older adults' EDs usage differed from other age groups, identifying their risk factors related to emergency would be beneficial. Chest pain, dizziness, dyspnea and hypoalbuminemia were related to emergency in EDs visits by older adults in South Korea.
