An Updated Scoping Review of Factors Associated with Length of Stay in Emergency Department by Kurhayati K, Emaliyawati E, Trisyani Y

“…The quality appraisal of the articles was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute critical evaluation tool. Data were analyzed using descriptive qualitative and thematic analysis.Results: Factors influencing LOS in the ED were categorized into five main categories: (1) Patient characteristics (advanced age, male gender, comorbidities, and specific clinical conditions such as sepsis and blood diseases); (2) Time and environmental factors (nighttime, weekend, and winter visits); (3) Hospital and health system factors (hospital type, bed capacity, insurance status, and triage severity); (4) Diagnostic and treatment processes (waiting times for radiology and laboratory examinations, delays in specialist consultations, and limited inpatient beds); and (5) Patient arrival mode (arriving by ambulance or referred from another hospital).Conclusion: Longer LOS in the ED is influenced by various multidimensional factors that interact with each other. …”
