Diagnosis and mortality in prehospital emergency patients transported to hospital: a population-based and registry-based cohort study
Conclusions
Patients' diagnoses from hospital stay after calling 1-1-2 in this population-based study were distributed across all ICD-10 chapters. Mortality varied widely between diagnostic groups. Non-specific diagnoses accounted for one-third of the patients and contributed to mortality in terms of total number of deaths.
