Abstract
Background: The population of the United States continues to diversify with an increasing percentage of homes with limited English proficiency (LEP). A major concern facing emergency departments (EDs) around the country is increasing length of stay (LOS). While multiple studies have shown racial and ethnic disparities in waiting time and length of stay (LOS), no studies have examined specifically if LEP patients have a different LOS than English-speaking (ES) patients. We hypothesized that there was a significant difference in LOS when comparing LEP and ES patients.
