Abstract
Background: The clinical profile of patients is crucial in emergency departments to determine their severity and the urgency of their condition. Globally, early ED mortality is driven by non-communicable diseases, trauma, and cardiovascular disorders, often worsened by comorbidities and delayed care. Kenya’s emergency department (ED) mortality rate is estimated to be 10-15%, with 1.9% of deaths within 72 hours.
Keywords: Emergency Department Mortality, Early Mortality, Pre-Hospital Care, Trauma
