Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to estimate the number of patients who come to the emergency department with a musculoskeletal referral to describe the different types of diagnosis for these patients and their treatment and discharge
Detailed Description:
There is a crisis in the emergency department ED in France as their number of consultations have constantly increased over the past ten years Musculoskeletal disorders MSK are the most common cause of consultations in ED as an example there is an average of 30 of ED consultations being for traumatic issues Moreover 90 of all patients coming in ED in France have a favourable prognosis of evolution no risk of seriousness In this situation one of the propositions to help to reduce the ED burden is to allow a direct access to physiotherapists They are the recommended profession to treat patients for musculoskeletal conditions and several studies showed physiotherapy assessment and treatment in an emergency service is safe and beneficial both for the patients and the hospital teams They have reported to increase satisfaction to reduce medications and requirement for expensive imaging on one hand and to reduce the costs and to give more time to the medical team on the other hand This role does not exist yet in France although more than 48 countries across the world have implemented it and French physiotherapists are advocating for it A recent text has been adopted by the French government allowing patients with recent ankle sprain or low back pain to self-refer to physiotherapists working in hospitals or in care home However this access is very restricted which will make the implementation difficult as it might not be sufficient to assist the ED Moreover there is a lack of information on the number and the type of diagnostic of patients with a MSK label coming to the ED which makes it difficult to assess the impact this role could have on French ED
In this context a retrospective survey describing how many patients with a musculoskeletal label are coming to the ED and how they are managed could help to estimate the worthiness of physiotherapist direct access in French ED
Question What is the proportion the type of diagnostic and the management of musculoskeletal disorder in emergency department in one hospital in France
