Figure 2. Figure 2.Emergency department length of stay and outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack. There was no significant difference in median emergency department length of stay of patients with poor outcome (modified Rankin score [mRS] ≥ 3) (307.5 min, interquartile range [IQR] 228.3.3–492.3) versus patients with good outcome (337 min, IQR 257.8–577.3; p=0.15).

Our Philosophy

Emergency Medicine is a specialty which closely reflects societal challenges and consequences of public policy decisions. The emergency department specifically deals with social injustice, health and economic disparities, violence, substance abuse, and disaster preparedness and response. This journal focuses on how emergency care affects the health of the community and population, and conversely, how these societal challenges affect the composition of the patient population who seek care in the emergency department. The development of better systems to provide emergency care, including technology solutions, is critical to enhancing population health.
