Abstract
The percent of patients with an EGS diagnosis requiring IHT is increasing, which may reflect a trend toward regionalization of EGS. Transfers require significant resources and may delay care. More than half of the EGS patients did not require surgical intervention. Future studies to identify populations who benefit from IHT and ideal timing of transfer can establish opportunities for optimizing resource utilization and patient outcomes.
