The Glasgow-Blatchford score (GBS) is recommended to identify low-risk patients who can be discharged from the emergency department (ED). A modified GBS (mGBS) and CANUKA score have recently been proposed but have not been well studied. The aim of this study was to assess whether the use of GBS, mGBS or CANUKA score could identify patients at low risk of death or need for intervention.MethodsA single-centre retrospective study was performed including patients with suspected UGIB visiting the ED of Saint-Antoine hospital (Paris, France) from January 2016 to December 2018. Demographic and medical data needed to calculate GBS and CANUKA were collected, as well as outcomes data. Need for intervention was defined as the need for blood transfusion, endoscopic haemostasis or rebleeding within 7 days. In-hospital mortality was also colle...

It has been reported that 22.5%–46.2% of patients have moderate elevation of liver enzymes. To our knowledge, acute hepatitis has never been described as an isolated symptom of COVID-19 in a previously healthy patient. We report the case of a 53-year-old patient with COVID-19 whose first clinical presentation was acute icteric hepatitis, several days before the development of others symptoms. During the pandemic, we suggest that patients with acute hepatitis be considered as COVID-19 suspects, tested and isolated.

While helping in avoiding social isolation, home services could also be associated to different healthcare pathways. For elderly patients, Emergency Departments (EDs) are the main entrance to hospital where previous loss of autonomy is associated to worst hospital outcomes. Part of elderly patients visiting EDs are still admitted to hospital for having difficulties coping at home without presenting any acute medical issue. There is a lack of data concerning elderly patients visiting EDs assisted by home services. Our aim was to compare among elderly patients visiting ED those assisted by professional home services to those who do not in terms of emergency resources’ use and patients’ outcome. Methods A multicenter, prospective cohort study was performed in 124 French EDs during a 24-h period on March 2...

We report the case of a 57-year-old woman brought to the emergency department with isolated shortness of breath for 24 h. Initial explorations revealed unexplained hyperlactatemia (6.4 mmol/L) without clinical or biological evidence of hypovolemia, distributive, obstructive or cardiogenic shock. Two hours after admission, we observed a decreased of blood pressure and an increase of lactate level to 7.9 mmol/L. A bedside echocardiography revealed an extra-cardiac left atrial compression and thoracoabdominal computed tomography showed a large sliding HH compressing the left atrium. After an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy permitting the aspiration of gastric contents, a repair surgery was performed without complications and patient was discharge three days later. Emergency physicians should be aware that HH can be a rare cause of cardiac symptoms by heart compression and certainly use echocardiography for unexplained hemodynamic failure.

Drugs use and fixed term contract are associated with hazardous alcohol consumption. Risky alcohol consumption seems similar between physicians and general population.

However, we lack data concerning primary care use after an ED visit. Identify the determinants of a visit to the general practitioner (GP) after an ED visit. Observational study (single-centre cohort). One emergency department in Paris, France. All adult patients who presented at the ED and were discharged. We collected data by the use of a standardized questionnaire, patients' medical records and a telephonic follow-up. Descriptive analyses were performed to compare individuals with and without a GP. Then, for those with a GP, multivariate logistic regression was used to identify the determinants of the GP consultation. We included 243 patients (mean age 45 years [±19]); 211 (87%) reported having a GP. Among those who reported having a GP, 52% had consulted their GP after the ED visit. Not hav...
