Emergency Department Triage, Transfer Times, and Hospital Mortality of Patients Admitted to the ICU: A Retrospective Replication and Continuation Study*
In patients with the highest APACHE-IV probability at academic hospitals, a prolonged ED-to-ICU time was associated with increased hospital mortality. We found no significant or consistent unfavorable association in lower APACHE-IV probability groups and NACT hospitals. The association between longer ED-to-ICU time and higher mortality was not found after adjustment and stratification for ED-triage score.
