Objective: To describe the association of demographic factors with triage acuity, hospital admission rates, and length of stay (LOS) for adult patients in the emergency department (ED). Methods: We performed a retrospective cross-sectional analysis using publicly available electronic health records describing visits to the ED of a single US medical center during 2011-2019. The primary exposures of interest were self-reported gender, race/ethnicity, and age. The outcomes studied were triage acuity, admission to hospital, and LOS in the ED. Odds ratios were calculated using propensity-score matching. Analyses were adjusted for confounding variables, including vital signs and diagnoses. Key Results: Black patients were more likely than White patients to experience long stays before admission but not before discharge. Men were more likely than women to be triaged as urgent or admitted, and had shorter stays. Patients over 30 were likelier to be triaged as urgent or admitted, but had longer stays.
