| خلاصه مقاله | Evaluating the chief complaints and diagnoses of patients in the
emergency department (ED) is essential for providing effective
medical care. Understanding the patterns, prevalence, and
consequences of these complaints across different age groups is vital
for optimizing resources and improving patient outcomes. While
previous studies have examined the primary complaints and
diagnoses in the ED, there is a need for more comprehensive research
focusing on three distinct age groups—youth, middle‐aged adults,
and the elderly. This study aims to increase awareness of the common
complaints and diagnoses in these age groups, identify age‐related
patterns that influence clinical decision‐making, and enhance
emergency department care.
Methods:
In this retrospective cross‐sectional study, data were collected from
patients who visited the ED of Imam Reza Hospital between 2020 and
2021. All patients aged 18 and older with various complaints and
diagnoses were included in the study. Hospital records were
reviewed, and patients with incomplete clinical records were
excluded from the analysis.
Findings:
The study categorized patients into three age groups: youth, middle‐
aged adults, and the elderly. The most common complaints across all
groups were related to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(
