We sought to compare trauma patient characteristics, ED care, and disposition by incarceration status. We hypothesized PEI would have shorter ED lengths-of-stay (LOSs), undergo more cross-sectional imaging, and have lower rates of admission. We conducted a single-center retrospective cohort study of adult incarcerated and nonincarcerated trauma patients presenting to a Level 1 trauma center from 1\/2010 to 12\/2020. The primary outcome was ED LOS. Patient characteristics were described, and multivariable median and logistic regression were used to compare outcomes. The cohort included 535 patients. Seventy-nine percent were male; 40% were Black, 32% Hispanic, and 18% White. On univariable analysis, PEI had lower triage acuity, had more blunt injuries, were more likely to receive imaging, and had lower rates of admission. After adjustment, PEI had a shorter median ED LOS (\u22121.08 hours; 95% CI: [\u22121.90, \u22120.26];\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u2009.01), higher odds of imaging (OR: 1.98; 95% CI: [1.18, 3.33];\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u2009.01), and similar admission odds (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u2009.55). PEI with trauma had lower-acuity visits and shorter ED LOS but underwent more imaging, suggesting more extensive evaluation. Further studies are needed to explore reasons for increased imaging in lower-acuity PEI visits and develop ED best practice guidelines.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/10783458261462704","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,14]],"date-time":"2026-07-14T14:35:40Z","timestamp":1784039740000},"page":"320-327","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A Cohort Study of Emergency Department Trauma Evaluation and Outcomes by Incarceration Status"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"32","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7491-6017","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michelle","family":"Suh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine, Brown University Health, Providence, Rhode Island, USA."},{"name":"Warren Alpert School of Medicine, Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island, USA."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Naveen","family":"Manisundaram","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas, USA."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kristen A.","family":"Staggers","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Clinical and Translational Research, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas, USA."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marc","family":"Robinson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas, USA."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3339-6967","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vidya","family":"Eswaran","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine, Washington University in St. Louis, St. Louis, Missouri, USA."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_4_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/jech.2009.090662"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/1742-6723.14408"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11606-020-06510-w"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamasurg.2018.2443"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/00031348221078984"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/174701611000600103"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jsurg.2021.06.009"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1146\/annurev-publhealth-031811-124614"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/2194-7899-2-6"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamainternmed.2019.3881"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jbi.2019.103208"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jbi.2008.08.010"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10459-020-09997-4"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.acra.2014.07.014"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_16_1","unstructured":"Jail Population.
