This study aimed to assess the factors affecting the prehospital time delay of the injured patients arriving at the Emergency Department of Beni-Suef University Hospital in Upper Egypt.
In this cross-sectional study, the following data were retrieved from the hospital records of 632 injured patients between 1/1/2018 and 31/3/2018: age, sex, residence, means of transportation to the hospital, prehospital time delay, consciousness level on admission, source of injury, and type of worst injury.
The prehospital time delay (>one hour) of the injured patients was positively associated with age >60 years and rural residence but inversely associated with consciousness level with odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) of 5.14 (2.26-11.68), 3.49 (2.22-5.48), and 0.56 (0.32-0.96), respectively.
The prehospital time delay of the injured patients arriving at the Emergency Department of Beni-Suef University Hospital in Egypt was associated with old age, rural residence, and consciousness level.
本研究旨在评估影响上埃及贝尼苏韦夫大学医院急诊科受伤患者院前时间延迟的因素。
在这项横断面研究中，从 2018 年 1 月 1 日至 2018 年 3 月 31 日期间，从 632 名受伤患者的医院记录中检索到以下数据：年龄、性别、居住地、到医院的交通方式、院前时间延迟、入院时的意识水平、损伤来源和最严重损伤的类型。
受伤患者的院前时间延迟（超过 1 小时）与年龄>60 岁和农村居住地呈正相关，但与意识水平呈负相关，优势比（95%置信区间）分别为 5.14（2.26-11.68）、3.49（2.22-5.48）和 0.56（0.32-0.96）。
埃及贝尼苏韦夫大学医院急诊科受伤患者的院前时间延迟与年龄较大、农村居住地和意识水平有关。
