Emergency department presentations by trans and gender diverse people in Sydney, Australia: Retrospective case series
Most TGD people identified by the present study had high acuity ED presentations, often presenting with acute mental health problems, and one-quarter were subsequently admitted to hospital. Mismatched patient details and misgendering and/or deadnaming on discharge letters were common. These findings highlight clear opportunities to improve the care of TGD people in the ED.
