    Purpose: To investigate the relationships between age, physiological deterioration, co-morbidity and emergency room discharge destination among patients with trauma. Design: Descriptive correlation design. Methods: The sample composed of 300 patients with traumatic injuries in emergency department, Bach Mai Hospital in Hanoi, Vietnam. Data were collected from the patient’s hospital chart. Spearman’s Rho was employed to test the relationships among studies variables. Main findings: Approximately 60% of patients with traumatic injuries (59.7%) were admitted in hospital, while 35.4% received surgery and/or admitted to intensive care unit. About 40.3% received treatment and were discharged from emergency department to home. Physiological deterioration as measured by Modified Early Warning Score, age, and co-morbidity were positively correlated with emergency room discharge destination (rs = .38, rs = .14, rs = .16, p < .05). Conclusion and recommendations: Modified Early Warning Score should be used to classify trauma injuries patients on their arrival at the emergency department. Hence, the patients can receive appropriate treatment at the right time. Co-morbid diseases should be routinely assessed in all trauma injuries patients on arrival at the emergency room.

    Background: The ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) fast track care recommend door to needle within 30 minutes. The current guideline is implemented in the community hospitals for timely reperfusion therapies, however, evaluation on its quality is limited. Objective: To evaluate quality of care for patients with STEMI in community hospitals, Thailand. Method: A descriptive design was conducted in three community hospitals, where distance from primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)-capable hospital are more than 120 minutes. Consecutive sampling was used to select sample of patients with STEMI from October 1, 2016, to Mach 31, 2017. Data were collected from STEMI patients in 3 community hospitals using questionnaire and medical record reviews. Results: Thirty-two STEMI patients participated in this study. The mean age of the patients was 62.5 ± 11.4 years. Most of them (87.5%) used self-transportation. Approximately 51.7% received streptokinase within time, while the average door to needle time was 48.4 minutes. The mean total ischemic time was 246.2 ± 365.7 minutes, and 18.8% of patients died in-hospital. Conclusions: This study showed that door to needle time, door to balloon time, door to ECG, door to referral time, and total ischemic time were longer than recommended time. The main reasons were patients delay and system delay particular delayed diagnosis.
