🏥 📈 🚑 🫁You may be aware of the fact that nearly 5% of emergency department visits are due to dyspnea; the causes and the prognosis are highly variable. 🚑 📈 🏥 🫁 In a novel approach, the objective of this study, by several INI-CRCT network members including Guillaume Baudry, Luca Monzo, Alexandre Mebazaa, Tahar Chouihed, MD, PhD and Nicolas GIRERD, was to describe the in-hospital and long-term outcomes of patients admitted to the emergency department for dyspnea, according to their underlying cause, and to determine whether the prognosis varies depending on the context of hospitalization. 🚑 📈 🏥 🫁The analysis includes 18,903 consecutive patients (48% men, mean age 73 years) hospitalized following an emergency department visit for dyspnea (January 2010 – December 2019), as part of the PARADISE cohort (PAthwAy of Dyspneic patIent in Emergency-NCT02800122). The most common discharge diagnoses were respiratory failure (RF) (30%), acute heart failure (AHF) (28%), and COPD (13%) 🚑 📈🏥 🫁 In-hospital mortality was 12% overall, ranging from 1.1% for asthma to 15% for AHF and RF. The five-year all-cause mortality rate among patients discharged alive was 75% for AHF, 66% for RF, 62% for COPD, 37% for epilepsy, and 26% for asthma. Admission to specialized units was associated with a significant reduction in in-hospital mortality for all causes. 🚑 📈🏥 🫁 In conclusion, patients hospitalized for dyspnea are at high risk of mortality, both during their hospital stay and after discharge. This analysis can help clinicians and research’s medical community to development of personalized care pathways to improve their prognosis in terms of morbidity and mortality!
