The expense of excess alcohol intake was estimated to have an annual associated healthcare cost of $28 billion, and there was greater than $221 billion in additional costs due to the detrimental effects of excess alcohol intake on productivity and societal setbacks over the last year. Alcohol use disorder (AUD) provides a major barrier for patients seeking medical treatment, because AUD is consistently regarded as one of the most stigmatized disorders globally. Provider-based discrimination toward patients with AUD may lead to providing a lower quality of\u00a0care.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"j_jom-2024-0168_abs_002\">\n                    <jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our objective was to assess whether patients with a history of AUD and\/or positive blood alcohol content (BAC+) affect emergency department (ED) wait times. We hypothesized that patients presenting to the ED with AUD+\/BAC+ would have longer wait times. Secondarily, we investigated the impacts of sociodemographics within these analyses.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"j_jom-2024-0168_abs_003\">\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of the 2019\u20132021 National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NHAMCS). Individuals\u2019 primary diagnosis had to be of musculoskeletal origin based on ICD-10 codes starting with \u2018S\u2019 for skeletal or bodily injuries or \u2018M\u2019 for diagnoses related to musculoskeletal or connective tissue conditions. Wait time was quantified from time of entry into the triage system to the time patients were seen by the first provider. We included data points with or without a recorded history of alcohol misuse or dependence (AUD\n                      <jats:sup>+\/\u2212<\/jats:sup>\n                      ) in their chart and those with a positive or negative blood alcohol content (BAC\n                      <jats:sup>+\/\u2212<\/jats:sup>\n                      ).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"j_jom-2024-0168_abs_004\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      ED wait times among individuals presenting with musculoskeletal injuries with a current history of AUD presenting with BAC- at the time of triage were not significantly different from those without a history of AUD. Individuals who were BAC+ at the time of triage had shorter wait times regardless of AUD history\u00a0\u2013\u00a0and only AUD-\/BAC+ had shorter wait times. Our binary regression and adjusted models showed that individuals who were AUD-\/BAC+ had a significantly shorter wait time (minimum\u00a0\u221218.43, standard error [SE]=1.92,\n                      <jats:italic>t<\/jats:italic>\n                      =\u22129.59, p&lt;0.001; SE=2.97;\n                      <jats:italic>t<\/jats:italic>\n                      =\u22125.62, p&lt;0.001) compared to individuals who were AUD-\/BAC- respectively.
