The population presenting at emergency rooms is increasing in Belgium. What is emergency in 1983 and why do people come? From a study of the emergency room population in a relatively new university hospital it emerges that more than 30% of those patients are in critical conditions or require in hospital treatment and about 50% are in acute discomfort. Our results confirm the impression that inappropriate use of emergency rooms is more an impression than a real problem. For socio-economic and cultural reasons, people go to emergency rooms when they need or think they should have medical help. Some emergency rooms are well able to cope with this situation. Others, less well-equipped in staff and facilities are dangerous and should be improved or closed. Unfortunately education and training programs for emergency physicians are still unknown in many parts of the French-speaking Belgium.
比利时急诊室的就诊人数正在增加。1983年的急诊情况如何，人们为什么前来？通过对一家相对较新的大学医院急诊室人群的研究发现，超过30%的患者处于危急状况或需要住院治疗，约50%的患者有急性不适。我们的结果证实了这样一种印象，即急诊室的不当使用更多是一种印象而非实际问题。出于社会经济和文化原因，人们在需要或认为自己应该获得医疗帮助时会前往急诊室。一些急诊室能够很好地应对这种情况。而其他一些在人员和设施方面配备较差的急诊室则很危险，应该加以改善或关闭。不幸的是，在比利时法语区的许多地方，急诊医生的教育和培训项目仍然不为人知。
