Data from the 2009-2010 National Hospital Ambulatory Care Survey-Emergency Department were used to compare homeless patients' utilization of the urban emergency department (ED) in the United States with nonhomeless patients and to examine the relationship between homelessness and demographics and ED utilization measures. The weighted sample size was 200 645 347. A total of 1 302 256 patients (0.65%) were homeless. Homeless patients were significantly more likely to be older, male, have self-pay, have no charge/charity or other as payment type, arrive via ambulance, have a longer ED visit, and a past visit to the same ED in the last year.
利用2009 - 2010年国家医院门诊护理调查 - 急诊科的数据,比较美国无家可归患者与非无家可归患者对城市急诊科(ED)的利用情况,并研究无家可归与人口统计学及急诊科利用指标之间的关系。加权样本量为200645347。共有1302256名患者(0.65%)无家可归。无家可归患者明显更有可能年龄较大、为男性、自费、支付类型为无收费/慈善或其他、通过救护车送达、急诊科就诊时间更长且去年曾到同一急诊科就诊。
