| Abstract | OBJECTIVE: To compare pediatric mental health emergency department visits to other pediatric emergency department visits, focusing on length of stay. METHOD: We analyzed data from the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey, a nationally representative sample of US emergency department visits from 2001 to 2008, for patients aged ≤18 years (n = 73,015). Visits with a principal diagnosis of a mental disorder (n = 1,476) were compared to visits (n = 71,539) with regard to patient and hospital characteristics, treatment, and length of stay. Predictors of prolonged mental health visits were identified. RESULTS: Mental health visits were more likely than other visits to arrive by ambulance (21.8% versus 6.3%, p < .001), to be triaged to rapid evaluation (27.9% versus 14.9%, p < .001), and to be admitted (16.4% versus 7.6%, p < .001) or transferred (15.7% versus 1.5%, p < .001). The median length of stay for mental health visits (169 minutes) significantly exceeded that of other visits (108 minutes). The odds of extended stay beyond 4 hours for mental health visits was almost twice that for other visits (adjusted odds ratio 1.9, 95% CI = 1.5-2.4) and was not explained by observed differences in evaluation, treatment, or disposition. Among mental health visits, advancing calendar year of study, intentional self-injury, age 6-13 years, Northeastern, Southern, and metropolitan hospital location, use of laboratory studies, and patient transfer all predicted extended stays. CONCLUSIONS: Compared with other pediatric emergency visits, mental health visits are longer, are more frequently triaged to urgent evaluation, and more likely to result in patient admission or transfer, thereby placing distinctive burdens on US emergency departments. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
