Abstract | Background: Rapid screening tools such as the WHO well-being Index (WWBI), Six-item screener (SIS), and the CLOX-1 test can be used to assess overall mental health and cognition, respectively. We sought to evaluate mental health with cognition in individuals with chronic diseases and stable vital signs presenting to the Emergency Department (ED). Methods: An observational study in the ED with 279 participants was conducted. Results: Chronic diseases were more prevalent among 51-70 years (43.4%) and diabetes was most common (58.8%). Fever (22.6%) and GI bleeding (32.6%) presentation were high. Participants with low WWBI had low SIS compared to the ones with higher scores (83.3% vs. 17.7%, Conclusion: In the ED, the evaluation of mental health even among cognitive impaired is feasible and crucial. |
