Objective: to understand the profile and prevalence of clinical outcomes of patients treated at hospital emergency services, based on the Manchester priority. Method: Cross-sectional study, carried out in a private hospital in Goiânia-Goiás, based on the analysis of 900 medical records of patients treated between 2019 and 2021. Medical records with complete information on age, sex, date and shift of care, length of stay, signs and symptoms, risk classification and clinical outcomes were included. Data were collected electronically and analyzed descriptively. Results: The age group 56 to 75 years (31.2%), male (59.8%), daytime (67.9%), low-urgent/green priority (38.9%) and hospital discharge (77.9%) were prevalent. The shortest average length of stay was for those classified as emergency priority (1h23) and the longest for urgent cases (7h28). Conclusion: The results indicate the need for improvements in patient flow management and greater accuracy in the application of risk classification.
