Predictors of acute hospital mortality from a 23-year database of emergency medical admissions.
Article in Irish journal of medical science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThere is much focus on the management of the acute emergency medical admission; however, comparative outcome data over long time periods are sparse.
aimWe report all the outcomes of emergency admissions over 23 years (2002-2024).
methodsDemographic and clinical details are described. Predictors of 30-day in-hospital mortality were analysed with logistic and Cox regression.
resultsThe 2002-2024 cohort consisted of 186,004 admissions in 95,192 patients. The 30-day in-hospital mortality per admission averaged 3.8% (95% CI 3.7% to 3.9%); there was a relative risk reduction (RRR) between 2002 and 2024 of 55.3%, from 5.5% to 2.4% (p = 0.001), with a calculated number needed to treat (NNT) of 33. Per patient mortality (single admission only considered; last admission if > 1) averaged 7.5% (95% CI 7.4% to 7.7%); there was a RRR of 77.9% between 2002 and 2024, from 13.1% to 2.9% (p = 0.001) with NNT of 9.9. Total in-hospital deaths were 14,092 at respective age for males of 73.6 (SEM 0.12) and females of 79.4 (SEM 0.11). The strongest predictors of short-term 30-day in-hospital mortality were being older (> 70 years)-OR 2.05 (95%CI 1.94, 2.18) and the acute illness severity score 1.91 (95%CI 1.85, 1.96). Other predictors were the Charlson Index 1.32 (95% CI 1.28, 1.37) and a primary neurological MDC (major disease category) 1.18 (95% CI 1.09, 1.27).
conclusionThe 30-day in-hospital mortality for emergency medical admissions has improved over time.
