    Abstract Background: During the last decade, the progressive increase in age and associated chronic comorbidities and polypharmacy. However, assessments of the risk of emergency department (ED) revisiting published to date often neglect patients' pharmacotherapy plans, thus overseeing the Drug-related problems (DRP) risks associated with the therapy burden. The aim of this study is to develop a predictive model for ED revisit, hospital admission, and mortality based on patient's characteristics and pharmacotherapy.
    Methods: Retrospective cohort study including adult patients visited in the ED (triage 1, 2, or 3) of multiple hospitals in Catalonia (Spain) during 2019. The primary endpoint was a composite of ED visits, hospital admission, or mortality 30 days after ED discharge. The study population was randomly split into a model development (60%) and validation (40%) datasets. The model included age, sex, income level, comorbidity burden, measured with the Adjusted Morbidity Groups (GMA), and number of medications. Forty-four medication groups, associated with medication-related health problems, were assessed using ATC codes. To assess the performance of the different variables, logistic regression was used to build multivariate models for ED revisits. The models were created using a "stepwise-forward" approach based on the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC). Area under the curve of the receiving operating characteristics (AUCROC) curve for the primary endpoint was calculated.
    Results: 851.649 patients were included; 134.560 (15.8%) revisited the ED within 30 days from discharge, 15.2% were hospitalized and 9.1% died within 30 days from discharge. Four factors (sex, age, GMA, and income level) and 30 ATC groups were identified as risk factors and combined into a final score. The model showed an AUCROC values of 0.720 (95%CI:0.718-0.721) in the development cohort and 0.719 (95%CI.0.717-0.721) in the validation cohort. Three risk categories were generated, with the following scores and estimated risks: low risk: 18.3%; intermediate risk: 40.0%; and high risk: 62.6%.
    Conclusion: The DICER score allows identifying patients at high risk for ED revisit within 30 days based on sociodemographic, clinical, and pharmacotherapeutic characteristics, being a valuable tool to prioritize interventions on discharge.

    Abstract Objective: Drug-induced sleepiness is a frequent cause of emergency department (ED) visits for frail patients. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of anticholinergic burden on 90-day revisitation risk for frail patients who visit the ED due to drug-induced sleepiness.
    Methods: This was a retrospective study in which patients treated at a fragility care area of an ED who sought consultation for drug-associated sleepiness from June 2020 to June 2021 were included. To evaluate the 90-day revisitation risk factors, a multivariate analysis was performed, including those factors with a p<0.200 from a previous univariate model. A Cox regression model was performed to assess the impact of a high burden on the time until 90-day ED revisitation.
    Results: One hundred and forty-eight patients were included (mean age 80.7±12.3 years). The median number of drugs that patients were currently on at emergency admission was eight (range 2-19), while at hospital discharge it was nine (range 2-20), with the median number of central nervous system (CNS) depressant drugs on admission being three (range 1-6). Thirty-five (23.6%) patients revisited the ED 90 days after discharge for sleepiness or agitation. In the multivariate model, a significant association was observed between a high anticholinergic burden during treatment at discharge (OR 3.74, 95% CI 1.36 to 9.71), chronic kidney disease (OR 2.87, 95% CI 1.19 to 6.81), and the risk of 90-day revisitation. Patients with high anticholinergic burden had a shorter time to revisit than those with medium or low anticholinergic burden (HR 1.96, 95% CI 1.05 to 3.99).
    Conclusions: Patients with pharmacological sleepiness and a high anticholinergic burden in their chronic treatment carry a greater risk of revisitation to EDs, and should be considered candidates for specific interventions after visiting these units.

    Title translation Aprender, desaprender y reaprender para asistir ancianos en urgencias: el secreto del cambio.
    Abstract The demographic shift toward ever greater numbers of older patients with multiple conditions and functional dependency has increased pressure on emergency departments (EDs). The traditional approach to emergency treatment does not resolve problems in this population, creates risk, leads to high admission rates, and collapses the ED itself. Medical associations recommend that multidisciplinary teams incorporate geriatric assessment strategies and procure safe care enviroments. Implementing such recommendations will require profound changes in ED processes and staff and in connections between the ED and the community the patient is discharged to. This paper describes the processes we used in our tertiary-care hospital to achieve the necessary level of change. Our aims were to ensure that the ED staff provides correct diagnoses and treatments for elderly patients; bases decisions on the patients’ clinical, social and functional needs and the preferences of both patient and family; and arranges for the most appropriate treatment environment in each case. All these changes were essential for properly addressing new care demands while achieving optimal patient outcomes and contributing to better ED and hospital performance.

    Abstract Objective: This study aimed to assess the probability of reaching an adequate pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (pK/pD) index for different cefepime dosages in frail patients with bacteremia treated in the emergency room.
    Methods: Simulation study based on Gram-negative bacterial strains that cause bacteremia. The probability of reaching a time above the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) at 50% and 100% dosing intervals (fT > 50 and fT > 80% MIC) was assessed for two different renal clearance intervals.
    Results: One hundred twenty nine strains were collected, the predominant species being
    Conclusions: Standard cefepime dosing can reach an adequate PK/PD index in frail patients. Nevertheless, a high dose or extended infusion is necessary to reach an fT > 80% MIC in patients with a ClCr > 60 mL/min.

    Abstract Objectives: To assess the usefulness of a tool based on ICD-10 diagnostic codes to identify patients who consult an emergency department for adverse drug events (ADE).
    Methods: Prospective observational study, in which patients discharged from an emergency department during May to August 2022 with a diagnosis coded with one of the 27 ICD-10 diagnoses considered as triggers were included. ADE confirmation was carried out by analyzing drugs prescribed prior to admission, and through a discussion among experts and a phone interview with patients after hospital discharge.
    Results: 1143 patients with trigger diagnoses were evaluated, of which 310 (27.1%) corresponded to patients whose emergency visit was attributed to an ADE. A 58.4% of ADE consultations were found with three diagnostic codes: K59.0-Constipation (n = 87; 28.1%), I16.9-Hypertensive Crisis (n = 72; 23.2%) and I95.1-Orthostatic hypotension (n = 22; 7.1%). The diagnoses with the highest degree of association with consultations attributed to ADE were E16.2-Hypoglycemia, unspecified (73.7%) and E11.65-Type 2 diabetes mellitus with hyperglycemia (71.4%), while diagnoses D62-Acute posthemorrhagic anemia and I74.3-Embolism and thrombosis of arteries of the lower limbs were not attributed to any case of ADE.
    Conclusions: The ICD-10 codes associated with trigger diagnoses are a useful tool to identify patients who consult the emergency services with ADE and could be used to apply secondary prevention programs to avoid new consultations to the health care system.

    Abstract Background: Frailty assessment allows the identification of patients at risk of death. The aim here was to study the ability of Frail-VIG Index (FI-VIG) in order to discriminate frailty groups of older adults and garner its correlation with mortality in an Emergency-Department Short-Stay Unit (ED-SSU).
    Methods: Our observational, single-center, prospective study consecutively included patients over 65-years-old admitted between March 1, 2021, and April 30, 2021.
    Results: 302 patients were included (56 % women), mean age 83 ± 8 years, and 39.1 % of them had a functional disability whilst 16.5 % of them had dementia. A total of 174 patients (58 %) met the frailty criteria (FI-VIG ≥ 0.2): 111 (63.8 %) had mild frailty (FI-VIG 0.2-0.36), 52 (29.9 %) had moderate frailty (FI-VIG 0.36-0.55), and 11 (6.3 %) had advanced frailty (FI-VIG > 0.55). Mortality at 30 days, 6 months, and 1 year was analyzed: no frailty was 6.3 %, 10.8 %, and 12.5 %, respectively; mild frailty was 10.8 %, 22.5 %, and 22.5 %, respectively; moderate frailty was 25 %, 34.6 %, and 42.3 %, respectively; advanced frailty was 36.4 %, 54.5 %, and 3.6 %, respectively. This shows the significant differences between the groups (1-year mortality p < 0.001). Mild frailty vs. non-frail HR was 2.47 (95 %CI 1.12-5.46), moderate frailty vs. non-frail HR was 6.93 (95 %CI 3.16-15.23), and advanced frailty vs. non-frail HR was 11.29 (95 %CI 3.54-36.03). The mean test time was 7 min.
    Conclusions: There was a strong correlation between frailty degree and mortality at 1, 6, and 12 months. FI-VIG is fast and easy-to-use in this setting. It is routine implementation in ED-SSUs could enable early risk stratification.
