Extended ‐release quetiapine overdose is associated with delayed onset of toxicity compared to immediate‐release quetiapine overdose
ConclusionXR quetiapine overdoses without sedating co ‐ingestants were associated with a doubling of time to peak sedation and pulse, and had longer recovery from sedation. The absence of sedation or tachycardia 12 h post‐overdose of XR quetiapine seems a reasonable timeframe to rule out significant poisoning. (Source: Emergency Medicine Australasia)

The Sydney Triage to Admission Risk Tool (START2) using machine learning techniques to support disposition decision ‐making
ConclusionMachine learning methods demonstrate similar performance to logistic regression for ED disposition prediction models using basic triage information. This should be investigated further, especially for larger data sets with more complex clinical information. (Source: Emergency Medicine Australasia)

Impact of emergency department occupancy on waiting times, rates of admission and representation, and length of stay when hospitalised: A data linkage study
ConclusionsHigher ED occupancy was associated with increased waiting times conditional on triage category and baseline occupancy. Collectively, the results show that NSW principal referral EDs are robust, and are currently capable of handling variation in occupancy by prioritising treatment for the most urgent patients.
