Emergency department utilization, admissions, and revisits in the United States (New York), Canada (Ontario), and New Zealand: A retrospective cross-sectional analysis. Acad Emerg Med 2023; 30:946-954. [PMID: 37062045 PMCID: PMC10871149 DOI: 10.1111/acem.14738] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2022] [Revised: 04/01/2023] [Accepted: 04/10/2023] [Indexed: 04/17/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Emergency department (ED) utilization is a significant concern in many countries, but few population-based studies have compared ED use. Our objective was to compare ED utilization in New York (United States), Ontario (Canada), and New Zealand (NZ). METHODS A retrospective cross-sectional analysis of all ED visits between January 1, 2016, and September 30, 2017, for adults ≥18 years using data from the State Emergency Department and Inpatient Databases (New York), the National Ambulatory Care Reporting System and Discharge Abstract Data (Ontario), and the National Non-Admitted Patient Collection and the National Minimum Data Set (New Zealand). Outcomes included age- and sex-standardized per-capita ED utilization (overall and stratified by neighborhood income), ED disposition, and ED revisit and hospitalization within 30 days of ED discharge. RESULTS There were 10,998,371 ED visits in New York, 8,754,751 in Ontario, and 1,547,801 in New Zealand. Patients were older in Ontario (mean age 51.1 years) compared to New Zealand (50.3) and New York (48.7). Annual sex- and age-standardized per-capita ED utilization was higher in Ontario than New York or New Zealand (443.2 vs. 404.0 or 248.4 visits per 1000 population/year, respectively). In all countries, ED utilization was highest for residents of the lowest income quintile neighborhoods. The proportion of ED visits resulting in hospitalization was higher in New Zealand (34.5%) compared to New York (20.8%) and Ontario (12.8%). Thirty-day ED revisits were higher in Ontario (27.0%) than New Zealand (18.6%) or New York (21.4%). CONCLUSIONS Patterns of ED utilization differed widely across three high-income countries. These differences highlight the varying approaches that our countries take with respect to urgent visits, suggest opportunities for shared learning through international comparisons, and raise important questions about optimal approaches for all countries.

Rocha V. Increasing access to allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant: an international perspective. HEMATOLOGY. AMERICAN SOCIETY OF HEMATOLOGY. EDUCATION PROGRAM 2021; 2021:264-274.

Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) is a highly complex, costly procedure for patients with oncologic, hematologic, genetic, and immunologic diseases. Demographics and socioeconomic status as well as donor availability and type of health care system are important factors that influence access to and outcomes following allo-HCT. The last decade has seen an increase in the numbers of allo-HCTs and teams all over the world, with no signs of saturation. More than 80 000 procedures are being performed annually, with 1 million allo-HCTs estimated to take place by the end of 2024. Many factors have contributed to this, including increased numbers of eligible patients (older adults with or without comorbidities) and available donors (unrelated and haploidentical), improved supportive care, and decreased early and late post-HCT mortalities. This increase is also directly linked to macro- and microeconomic indicators that affect health care both regionally and globally. Despite this global increase in the number of allo-HCTs and transplant centers, there is an enormous need for increased access to and improved outcomes following allo-HCT in resource-constrained countries. The reduction of poverty, global economic changes, greater access to information, exchange of technologies, and use of artificial intelligence, mobile health, and telehealth are certainly creating unprecedented opportunities to establish collaborations and share experiences and thus increase patient access to allo-HCT. A specific research agenda to address issues of allo-HCT in resource-constrained settings is urgently warranted.
