Bridging women's emergency and primary healthcare: Factors associated with prolonged obstetrics and gynecology emergency room stay in a Saudi university hospital
Multiple factors contribute to variation in LoS in OB-GYN ER settings, including triage severity, time of visit, and type of complaint. Strengthening the integration of women's health subspecialties within family medicine at the primary healthcare level can play a pivotal role in managing non-urgent cases more efficiently. These improvements align with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030 by enhancing healthcare delivery, optimizing resource utilization, and expanding access to specialized women's health services outside hospital-based OB-GYN ER settings.
