Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The 'Analysis of Emergency Department Volumes during Natural Disasters' retrospective study focuses on three specified populations including dialysis patients, trauma patients, and patients poisoned by carbon monoxide. These three populations have one commonality - hurricanes, ie. natural disasters, which is the exposure. Causal associations and significant correlations will be explored in all three subgroups.
