Retrospective study of adult patients (> 16 y) admitted to Geneva University Hospitals with alcohol abuse. Triage criteria will be reviewed. Patients characteristics and patient flow in the ED will be described.
A retrospective analysis of triage notes and electronic medical records will be performed in order to identify how triage evaluation is performed accordingly to the Swiss Emergency Triage Scale criteria. The proportion of patients leaving without being seen will be computed. Caracteristics of these patients will be compared to patients with medical evaluation.
