The characteristics of the patients and their stay in the emergency room will be collected, and their hospital stay (truncated at 30 days) will be analyzed in terms of morbidity and mortality. Main objective: To study the truncated 30-day in-hospital mortality of patients who spent a night on a stretcher in the emergency department. Secondary objectives: To describe the characteristics and hospital stay of patients who spent a night on a stretcher To compare the morbidity and mortality of patients who spent the night on a stretcher with patients who spent the night in an inpatient bed after an emergency visit;
