Development and validation of a clinical prediction model for hospitalization after emergency department admission in patients with cancer.

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
Background and purpose: Emergency department (ED) admissions by cancer patients often result in hospitalization and prolonged ED stays, contributing to overcrowding. Early identification of patients at risk of hospitalization could improve ED flow and ensure timely provision of oncological care. This study aimed to develop and validate models to predict hospitalization among cancer patients admitted to the ED. Methods: Adult cancer patients who were admitted to the ED between 1 July 2018 and 30 September 2020 at the Erasmus University Medical Center were included. Data from electronic health records (EHR) were used to develop two logistic regression models: (i) a baseline model including predictors available after ED triage (e.g. patient characteristics, vital parameters) and (ii) an extended model including blood test results. Predictors were selected using the Wald χ Results: Of 7284 ED admissions, 3967 (54%) resulted in hospitalization. The most common cancers requiring hospitalization were lung, hepatopancreatobiliary, and colorectal cancer. The baseline model included age, sex, primary malignancy, symptoms, metastasis, temperature, pain score, diastolic blood pressure, and heart rate. The model showed good calibration (intercept -0.04, slope 0.86) and discriminative ability [C-statistic 0.71, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.68-0.74]. The extended model showed improved performance (intercept -0.09, slope 0.92; C-statistic 0.75, 95% CI 0.72-0.78). Conclusion: Hospitalization risk of cancer patients admitted to the ED can be predicted using routinely collected EHR data, which could aid in optimizing ED patient flow and ensuring timely provision of oncological services.
