Abdominal pain is associated with high rates of emergency department (ED) imaging utilization and revisits. While imaging often improves diagnosis, a better understanding is needed on when the decision to image is justified and how it influences subsequent resource utilization and outcomes for patients in the ED presenting with abdominal pain. We evaluated the association between advanced ED imaging on subsequent outpatient imaging and on revisits among abdominal pain patients discharged from the ED.

急诊科高级影像学检查与腹痛患者后续影像学的关系

腹痛与急诊科 (ED) 成像使用率和重访率高相关。虽然成像通常可以改善诊断，但需要更好地了解何时做出成像决定是合理的，以及它如何影响急诊科出现腹痛的患者随后的资源利用和结果。我们评估了高级 ED 成像与随后的门诊成像和从 ED 出院的腹痛患者再次就诊之间的关联。
