| Abstract |
This study examines variations in content of care for anxiety-related emergency department (ED) visits in the USA across various sociodemographic strata. The 2009-2012 National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey was used to identify all visits to general hospital EDs in which an anxiety diagnosis was recorded (n = 1930). Content and equitability of care was assessed utilizing logistic regression models. There were an estimated 1,856,000 ED visits with anxiety-related discharge diagnoses in the USA annually. Content of care and disposition varied by age, race/ethnicity, and insurance status. Visits by Medicaid patients were more likely than visits by privately insured patients to include a toxicology screen (OR = 1.67, p < .05) and visits by patients with either Medicaid or Medicare were less likely to include an EKG (OR = 0.53, p < .05 and OR = 0.52, p < .05, respectively). Understanding variations in ED care for anxiety can identify opportunities for intervention, both in the ED and upstream in appropriate healthcare settings. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 01 March 2018.
All research outputs
#6,129,652
of 23,911,072 outputs
Outputs from The Journal of Behavioral Health Services & Research
#131
of 469 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#103,246
of 333,754 outputs
Outputs of similar age from The Journal of Behavioral Health Services & Research
#6
of 19 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,911,072 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 73rd percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 469 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.0. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 62% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 333,754 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 68% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 19 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
