Abstract (type = abstract)
BACKGROUND: Emergency Department (ED) is a zone of a hospital created to provide emergency care, and 3.5% of adult visits to the ED in the United States are often made by those with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). The purpose of this study is to examine ED visits and their association with age, gender, race, Socioeconomic status (SES), number of procedures, insurance type, comorbidities, length of stay, admission type, risk of mortality, CKD type, severity of illness, and number of chronic conditions in a cohort of patients with CKD.
METHOD: The research methodology for this study is a quantitative correlational design study. The quantitative correlational research design measures the relationship between two variables, ED visits, and the 13 independent variables. Patient data is retrieved from the National Emergency Department Sample (NEDS). The researcher uses a Medical Loss Ratio (MLR) and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) data tools to analyze the data collected from the study participants.
RESULTS: There are 197,779 patients with CKD in the dataset. The results reveal that age is a significant predictor of likelihood of morality (p < .001), gender is not a significant predictor of likelihood of morality (p = .172), the overall logistic regression model is not statistically significant ( p = .127) for SES, the number of comorbidities is a significant predictor of likelihood of morality (p < .001), the number of procedures is a significant predictor of likelihood of morality ( p < .001), severity is a significant predictor of likelihood of morality (p < .001), and all predictors with the exception of SES were significant to predictors of length and hospital stay.
CONCLUSION: According to the findings of the study, (a) an increase in age by one year would result in increased odds of mortality by 1.002 times, (b) gender was not a significant predictor of morality, (c) SES was a significant predictor of morality, (d) the number of comorbidities was a significant predictor of morality, (e) the number of procedures was a significant predictor of morality.
