The association between XXXX and the mortality of severe @entity131 in emergency department.

@entity1 @entity131 @entity417
BACKGROUND: @entity417 is a common medical problem for critically ill @entity1 . Blood transfusion to augment oxygen delivery for these @entity1 has been a traditional therapy. However, few studies have identified the impact of @entity417 on individuals suffering from severe @entity131 ( @entity131 ). Hence, this study aims to evaluate the effects of initial @entity417 on @entity1 with severe @entity131 admitted to the Emergency Unit. METHODS: We reviewed the medical records of @entity1 with isolated severe @entity131 admitted to the Emergency Unit of a university hospital from July 2003 to June 2008. @entity1 were divided into two groups based on their initial @entity417 data taken while in the Emergency Unit. The @entity417 datum is defined as hemoglobin (Hb) <10 mg/dL. The t test was used to identify the differences between the two groups, while logistic regression was applied to determine any significant differences found in the statistical analysis. RESULTS: A total of 234 @entity1 were signed up in our study. Based on their initial hemoglobin at emergency department, 23 @entity1 (9.8%) comprised the @entity417 group, 17 @entity1 (7.3%) comprised the nonanemia group, whereas 112 @entity1 (47.9%) belonging to the nonanemia group were deceased. There is no significant difference between the two groups (p = 0.076; odds ratio, 0.97; confidence interval, 0.78-1.05). CONCLUSION: This study shows that initial @entity417 is not a mortality risk factor for @entity1 with isolated severe blunt @entity131 .
