cord-297248-vs6ncz6m	O'Reilly, GM	The impact of patient isolation on emergency department length of stay: a retrospective cohort study using the Registry for Emergency Care (REC‐1)	2020-08-14		.txt	text/plain	2802	178	55	Although Australia has been relatively successful at containing the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, a significant number of patients presenting to Australian Emergency Departments (EDs) meet case definition criteria for 'suspected COVID-19'. [12] [13] [14] [15] Building on the COVED Project, which is focussed on the clinical features and outcomes of SARS-CoV-2 positive cases, the Registry for Emergency Care (REC) was established to examine the care of all ED patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, a subgroup analysis of the association between isolation and ED LOS was conducted among those patients who were admitted to hospital (general ward, emergency short stay unit (ESSU), intensive care unit (ICU) or operating theatre (OT)) and those who were discharged from hospital (home, self-discharged against medical advice and died in ED). Potential confounders were included in a multivariable linear regression analysis according to whether or not they had a statistically significant association with both the primary exposure variable (contact, droplet or airborne precautions, summarised as isolation status) and the primary outcome variable (log ED LOS).	./cache/cord-297248-vs6ncz6m.txt	./txt/cord-297248-vs6ncz6m.txt
