An open-access dataset of emergency department admissions at a large teaching hospital in Iran.

In recent years, the use of electronic health records (EHRs) has become increasingly prevalent in healthcare settings, including emergency departments (EDs). EHRs offer numerous advantages, such as improved documentation, streamlined communication, and enhanced patient care. Additionally, EHRs contain vital information about patient care and treatment outcomes, which opens up exciting research opportunities. The objective of this study was to present a database comprising information regarding patients admitted to the emergency department of a large hospital. In this study, we are introducing an open-access database sourced from the electronic health records of a general university hospital in Isfahan, Iran. The data were collected from patients admitted to the emergency department between March 2017 and March 2022, resulting in a database containing 143,582 ED stays. The database includes triage information, ED admission patients, and services. To ensure patient privacy, all patient-specific information has been removed from the records.
