Summary
This summary is machine-generated.Culturally and linguistically diverse patients experience longer prehospital delays for acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Definitions and identification methods for these populations in research are inconsistent, impacting our understanding of delays.
Area Of Science
- Public Health
- Cardiology
- Health Disparities
Background
- Culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) populations consistently show longer prehospital delays during acute coronary syndrome (ACS) events.
- Understanding the factors contributing to these delays is crucial for improving emergency care access and outcomes for CALD individuals.
Conclusions
- Inconsistent terminology and methods for defining and identifying CALD populations hinder research.
- Limited studies exist on factors affecting prehospital treatment-seeking in CALD ACS patients.
- Future research should utilize theoretical models and consider self-reported or multiple indicators for CALD status to comprehensively explore prehospital delays.
