However, how these models evolve over time has not been studied. The objective of the present work is to compare the characteristics of patients who present mortality in the short, medium and long term, and to derive and validate a predictive model for each mortality time. Methods: A prospective multicenter study was conducted, which included adult patients with unselected acute illness who were treated by EMS. The primary outcome was noncumulative mortality from all causes by time windows including 30-day mortality, 31- to 180-day mortality, and 181- to 365-day mortality. Prehospital predictors included demographic variables, standard vital signs, prehospital laboratory tests, and comorbidities. Results: A total of 4830 patients were enrolled. The noncumulative mortalities at 30, 180, and 365 days were 10.8%, 6.6%, and 3.5%, respectively. The best predictive value was shown for 30-day mortality (AUC = 0.930; 95% CI: 0.919–0.940), followed by 180-day (AUC = 0.852; 95% CI: 0.832–0.871) and 365-day (AUC = 0.806; 95% CI: 0.778–0.833) mortality. Discussion: Rapid characterization of patients at risk of short-, medium-, or long-term mortality could help EMS to improve the treatment of patients suffering from acute illnesses. metadata Enriquez de Salamanca Gambara, Rodrigo; Sanz-García, Ancor; del Pozo Vegas, Carlos; López-Izquierdo, Raúl; Sánchez Soberón, Irene; Delgado Benito, Juan F.; Martínez Díaz, Raquel; Mazas Pérez-Oleaga, Cristina; Martínez López, Nohora Milena; Dominguez Azpíroz, Irma y Martín-Rodríguez, Francisco mail SIN ESPECIFICAR, SIN ESPECIFICAR, SIN ESPECIFICAR, SIN ESPECIFICAR, SIN ESPECIFICAR, SIN ESPECIFICAR, raquel.martinez@uneatlantico.es, cristina.mazas@uneatlantico.es, nohora.martinez@uneatlantico.es, irma.dominguez@unini.edu.mx, SIN ESPECIFICAR (2024) A Comparison of the Clinical Characteristics of Short-, Mid-, and Long-Term Mortality in Patients Attended by the Emergency Medical Services: An Observational Study.
