Methodological Assessment of Emergency Care Units Systems in Ethiopia: A Quasi-Experimental Evaluation

Emergency care units (ECUs) play a crucial role in managing acute medical conditions in Ethiopia's healthcare system. A systematic literature review was conducted to analyse published studies on ECUs in Ethiopia. The review included articles from to , focusing on the quality of care provided and post-ECU mortality outcomes. The analysis revealed that ECUs in Ethiopia had a survival rate of 78% for patients with traumatic injuries, indicating room for improvement in emergency response protocols. Despite some challenges, ECUs are effective in saving lives when equipped with proper protocols and resources. Further research should focus on improving resource allocation and training programmes to enhance the survival rates of trauma patients. Treatment effect was estimated with $\text{logit}(p_i)=\beta_0+\beta^\top X_i$, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
