The MGE had one first aid post and one in\u2010event health team staffed by doctors, nurses and paramedics. A retrospective analysis of patient care records from providers of in\u2010event, ambulance and ED services was undertaken. Data analysis included descriptive and inferential statistics.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Of the 20\u2009000 MGE participants, 197 (0.99% [95% CI 0.86\u20131.13], 9.85\/1000) presented for in\u2010event first aid care, with 24\/197 (12.2% [95% CI 8.33\u201317.49], 1.2\/1000) referred to in\u2010event health professionals. Fifteen of the referred patients (62.5% [95% CI 42.71\u201378.84]) returned to the MGE following administration of intravenous fluids (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200913) and\/or anti\u2010emetics (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200911). Seven (29.2% [95% CI 14.92\u201349.17], 0.35\/1000) were referred to ambulance paramedic care, requiring endotracheal intubation (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20091) and airway adjuncts (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 3) prior to transportation to ED; these patients had an ED median length of stay of 7 h (5.5\u201312.5) receiving imaging and ventilator support. Five were discharged from ED, one required an operation and another required intensive care unit admission.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>There was an impact on in\u2010event, ambulance and ED services from this MGE but the in\u2010event model of care may have limited ambulance usage and ED visits. The ED length of stay was greater than the national median, perhaps reflecting the appropriateness of transport and nature of care requirements while in the ED.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/1742-6723.13194","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,8]],"date-time":"2018-11-08T13:17:37Z","timestamp":1541683057000},"page":"423-428","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Impacts on in\u2010event, ambulance and emergency department services from patients presenting from a mass gathering event: A retrospective analysis"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"31","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5265-6365","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jamie","family":"Ranse","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Menzies Health Institute Queensland, Griffith University  Gold Coast Queensland Australia"},{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine Gold Coast Health  Gold Coast Queensland Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shane","family":"Lenson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Nursing, Midwifery and Paramedicine Australian Catholic University  Canberra Australian Capital Territory Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Toby","family":"Keene","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Australian Capital Territory Ambulance Service  Canberra Australian Capital Territory Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Matt","family":"Luther","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Emergency Department Calvary Public Hospital Bruce  Canberra Australian Capital Territory Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Brandon","family":"Burke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Intensive Care Unit Christchurch Hospital  Christchurch New Zealand"},{"name":"Australian National University Medical School  Canberra Australian Capital Territory Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alison","family":"Hutton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Nursing and Midwifery Newcastle University  Newcastle New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amy NB","family":"Johnston","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Nursing, Midwifery and Social Work The University of Queensland  Brisbane Queensland Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1455-8983","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Julia","family":"Crilly","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Menzies Health Institute Queensland, Griffith University  Gold Coast Queensland Australia"},{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine Gold Coast Health  Gold Coast Queensland Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S1049023X00004507"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S1049023X00008566"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S1049023X16001199"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S1049023X14001216"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S1049023X16000054"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S1049023X00008682"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajem.2017.11.006"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s13722-017-0105-x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S1049023X12001288"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S1049023X14001228"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_12_1","volume-title":"Emergency Department Care 2016\u201317: Australian Hospital Statistics.
