N2  - ObjectiveThis study aimed to identify factors associated with an emergency department (ED) length of stay &#x2265;4&#x2009;hours (h) and hospital admission for people with a mental health problem brought in by police.MethodsWe undertook a retrospective, observational cohort study of state-wide adult ED mental health presentations brought in by police from 1 January 2012 to 31 December 2017. We used multivariable logistic regression to determine factors associated with an ED length of stay &#x2265;4&#x2009;h and hospital admission.ResultsIn total, 9325 ED presentations with a mental health problem brought in by police to Queensland EDs were included. Factors most strongly associated with an ED length of stay &#x2265;4&#x2009;h included an Australasian Triage Score (ATS) of 1, an age of 85&#x2009;years or older, night shift arrival and subsequent hospital admission. For hospital admission, an ATS of 1, an age of 85&#x2009;years or older and an ED length of stay &#x2265;4&#x2009;h were the strongest factors.ConclusionFindings indicate opportunities for targeted mental health models of care to better support people brought in by police to an ED. Such models should involve ED, pre-hospital providers (police and ambulance) and mental health services to support early intervention and potentially reduce the likelihood of a long ED length of stay and subsequent hospital admission.
