RESUMO

PURPOSE: To describe demographic and clinical features of emergency department patients presenting with fracture-associated (FA) or fracture-independent retrobulbar hemorrhage (RBH). METHODS: The Nationwide Emergency Department Sample database 2018 and 2019 was used to compare demographic and clinical features of patients with fracture-independent RBH and FA RBH. RESULTS: A total of 444 fracture-independent and 359 FA RBH patients were identified. Demographics such as age distribution, gender, and payer type differed significantly, with young (21-44 years), privately insured males more likely to develop FA RBH and the elderly (65+ years) more likely to develop fracture-independent RBH. Prevalence of hypertension and anticoagulation did not differ, but substance use and ocular-related injuries were more prevalent in the FA RBH. CONCLUSION: Presentations of RBH differ in demographic and clinical features. Further research is needed to explore trends and guide decision-making in the emergency department.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To evaluate the association of demographic and clinical features of emergency department (ED) patients presenting with open globe injuries (OG) with outcomes such as inpatient admission rate, length of stay (LOS), and total cost. METHODS: The Nationwide Emergency Department Sample database 2018 and 2019 was used to analyze the association of demographic and clinical features of OG patients with outcome measures. RESULTS: 8404 OG patients were identified. Medicaid patients were associated with higher ED costs and a higher frequency of extended LOS. The 70+ age group was associated with higher inpatient admission. Frail patients were associated with significantly increased likelihood of inpatient admission, higher likelihood of extended LOS and higher total combined ED cost. Falls and being struck were associated with shorter LOS. CONCLUSION: This study describes the most common demographic and clinical characteristics of OGIs that present to the ED, as well as the association of these characteristics with outcome measures such as inpatient admission rates, LOS, and total cost. The study further identified potential high-risk patients for prolonged length of stay. The findings will better optimize patient care protocols to improve outcomes.
