Retrospective Analysis of Disparities in Timing of Prehospital and Emergency Department Pain Management by Sex and Age
Age and sex disparities exist in both prehospital and ED pain management for long bone fractures. Older adults were less likely to receive prehospital analgesia and experienced prolonged delays in the ED. Female patients had longer ED wait times for analgesia, especially following prehospital treatment administered by emergency medical services responders.
