This study sought to define risks and identify predictors for inpatient admission and hospital mortality among cancer patients presenting to the ED. Patients and Methods We utilized the National Emergency Department Sample to identify patients with and without a diagnosis of cancer presenting to the ED between January 2016 and December 2018. We used multivariable mixed‐effects logistic regression models to assess the influence of cancer on outcomes of hospital admission after the ED visit and hospital mortality for the whole patient cohort and individual presenting diagnoses. Results There were 340 million weighted ED visits, of which 8.3 million (2.3%) were associated with a cancer diagnosis.
