  1. Data are represented as n (%), mean (SD), or median [IQR]. Percentages with decimal places might not add up to exactly 100% due to rounding. Because the distributions for ED arrival to CT scan time, CT scan to bed request time, and bed request to admission time are right-skewed, the median and IQR are presented here
