Abstract

We studied the nature of the visits of patients aged 11-20 years to three free-standing emergency centers (FECs) and compared the mean to the national studies of visits by this age group to pediatricians and family/general physicians. Differences in sex distribution, diagnostic procedures, and diagnostic categories of the FECs emerged. Our results suggest that adolescents seek FEC care for reasons different than those prompting visits to the traditional physician's office.

摘要

我们研究了11至20岁患者前往三个独立急诊中心（FEC）就诊的性质，并将其均值与该年龄组前往儿科医生和家庭/全科医生处就诊的全国性研究结果进行了比较。结果发现，急诊中心在性别分布、诊断程序和诊断类别方面存在差异。我们的研究结果表明，青少年前往急诊中心就诊的原因与前往传统医生办公室就诊的原因不同。
