The median (interquartile range) age was 79 (68\u201387) years, and the median (interquartile range) body temperature at the emergency department was 30.8\u00b0C (28.4\u201333.6\u00b0C). Forty\u2010three percent of patients with AH had a mild condition, 35.2% moderate, and 21.9% severe. AH occurred in an indoor setting in 73.4% and was caused by acute medical illness in 49.3% of patients. A total of 101 (8.5%) patients suffered from cardiopulmonary arrest on arrival at the hospital. The overall 30\u2010day mortality rate was 24.5%, the median (interquartile range) intensive care unit stay was 4 (2\u20137)\u00a0days, and the median (interquartile range) hospital stay was 13 (4\u201327)\u00a0days. In the multivariable logistic analysis, the prognostic factors were age (\u226575\u00a0years old), male, activities of daily living (needing total assistance), cause of AH (trauma, alcohol), Glasgow Coma Scale score, and potassium level (&gt;5.5\u00a0mEq\/L).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The mortality rate of AH was 24.5% in Japan.
