Table 2. Door-to-doctor time (min) stratified by patient status and ESI category.
| Median (IQR) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| pre-MTE (n = 13120) | MTE (n = 13120) | p-value | |
| Overall | 41.23 (24.78–66.62) | 10.06 (5.65–18.07) | <0.01 |
| Admitted | 33.84 (19.95–55.44) | 9.48 (5.18–18.12) | <0.01 |
| Discharged | 45.85 (28.08–72.93) | 10.37 (5.92–18.07) | <0.01 |
| ESI category 2 | 29.50 (18.38–45.88) | 8.43 (4.93–15.60) | <0.01 |
| ESI category 3 | 41.70 (25.23–66.10) | 10.38 (5.82–18.55) | <0.01 |
| ESI category 4 | 54.28 (34.23–84.70) | 10.50 (5.87–18.43) | <0.01 |
| ESI category 5 | 42.70 (27.85–68.80) | 16.53 (11.33–23.50) | <0.01 |
As we could not reliably tell apart ESI level1 patients that underwent MTE from those who were immediately taken to the resuscitation area, they were excluded from the table’s individual ESI category outcomes.
