We sought to characterize emergency department (ED) encounters for pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) to identify areas for prevention.
Retrospective chart review of 5 consecutive ED encounters at 7 centers was performed.
Of 35 unique encounters by 32 patients, 3 main factors contributed to ED utilization: disease severity or course, day or time of care, and physician instruction. Of the ED encounters, approximately one-fifth were judged medically unnecessary, and one-half avoidable in a more optimal health care system.
ED visits by pediatric patients with IBD may be reduced in a more optimal health care system.
我们试图描述儿科炎症性肠病(IBD)患者在急诊科(ED)的就诊情况,以确定预防领域。
对7个中心连续5次ED就诊情况进行回顾性病历审查。
32例患者的35次独特就诊中,导致ED就诊的主要因素有3个:疾病严重程度或病程、就诊日期或时间以及医生指示。在这些ED就诊中,约五分之一被判定为医疗上不必要,在更优化的医疗系统中,约一半是可避免的。
在更优化的医疗系统中,IBD儿科患者的ED就诊次数可能会减少。
