Men with chest pain receive faster and better treatment than women Ryan Morrison For Mailonline © Provided by Daily Mail MailOnline logo Men suffering from pains in their chest receive faster and better treatment from hospitals than women who present with the same symptoms, a study reveals.  Compared with men of similar age, women were triaged less urgently, waited longer to be seen, and were less likely to undergo basic tests or be hospitalised or admitted for observation to diagnose a heart attack, according to the research.  The study, by NYU Langone Health, is the first to examine emergency room management of chest pain specifically among younger adults aged 18-55 years.

Study reveals sex differences in evaluation and treatment of young adults with chest pain Among younger adults visiting the emergency department for chest pain, women may be getting the short end of the stick. Compared with men of similar age, women were triaged less urgently, waited longer to be seen, and were less likely to undergo basic tests or be hospitalized or admitted for observation to diagnose a heart attack, according to new research being presented at the American College of Cardiology s 70th Annual Scientific Session. The study is the first to examine emergency room management of chest pain specifically among younger adults (age 18-55 years). Heart disease is the leading cause of death in women and is becoming more common in younger adults. About one-third of women who were hospitalized for a heart attack in the past two decades were under the age of 55, a proportion that has grown in recent years.

Children are waiting longer in the ER for mental health care, study finds

COVID-19 has cast a spotlight on the shortages of mental health resources, especially for children and adolescents, but problems of accessing care have been increasing for years. A new study, published this week in the journal Pediatrics, found children who visited emergency departments for mental health crises in 2015 were more likely to experience prolonged wait times for care than they were in the previous decade. Researchers analyzed the length of stay for 36,215 patients ages 6 to 17 visiting a pediatric emergency department between 2005 and 2015 using the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey. Researchers categorized visits into wait-time increments — more than six hours, more than 12 hours, or more than 24 hours. The length of stay for mental health visits were then compared with non-mental health ED visits.

2005 to 2015 Saw Increase in LOS for Pediatric ED Mental Health Visits

Apr 6, 2021 MONDAY, April 5, 2021 (HealthDay News) From 2005 to 2015, there was an increase in prolonged length of stay (LOS) for pediatric mental health emergency department visits, according to a study published online April 5 in Pediatrics. Katherine A. Nash, M.D., from Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, and colleagues conducted an observational analysis of emergency department visits among children aged 6 to 17 years using the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey for 2005 to 2015. Trends in rates of prolonged LOS were examined and the association between prolonged LOS and demographic and clinical characteristics was explored. The researchers found that from 2005 to 2015, there were increases in the rates of prolonged LOS for pediatric mental health emergency department visits from 16.3 to 24.6 percent (LOS greater than six hours) and from 5.3 to 12.7 percent (LOS greater than 12 hours); during the same period, the LOS for non-mental health visits remain
