Patients’ aged ≥65 years dispositions during ambulance assignments including factors associated with non-conveyance to hospital: a longitudinal and comparative study

摘要

Patients ≥65 years old represent 30%–50% of all ambulance assignments (AAs), and the knowledge of which care level they are disposed to is limited and diverging. The aim of this study was therefore to describe and compare characteristics of patients’ aged ≥65 years dispositions during AA, including determining changes over time and factors associated with non-conveyance to hospitals.
