Emergency Department Use by Infants Less Than 14 Days of Age

Abstract: Primiparity and maternal age less than 25 years were associated with nonacute ED presentation. Acuteness of presentation to the ED was not influenced by timing of neonatal discharge. Therefore, perinatal education might be best targeted at first time mothers and young mothers to reduce the number of nonacute ED visits.

“…Adolescent mothers might have different thresholds for ED use compared with young adult mothers as suggested by studies that show increased ED utilization for nonacute problems among infants of younger mothers. 6,29,30 Treating physicians might also be more likely to admit infants of adolescent mothers compared with infants of young adult mothers despite similar presentations, perhaps influenced by perceived or actual differences in caregiver stress and support. The degree to which such caregiver and provider decisions impact rates of acute care utilization and health outcomes in this population warrants further study.…”

“…Néanmoins, nous observons que les motifs de consultations étaient assez proches des diagnostics finalement retenus. Plus de la moitié des visites (54,2 %) était liée à des motifs « non urgents » qui auraient pu être facilement gérés en externe [3,4,11]. Cela nécessiterait cependant un réaménage-ment de l'offre de soins qui, en France, ne garantit pas toujours une réponse adaptée aux attentes parentales (accès difficile aux consultations de médecine générale ou de pédia-trie de ville, permanence des soins non assurée en soirée ou le week-end.…”

“…[12] alors que les SAU offrent un accès libre et généralement gratuit [13,14]. La définition du caractère « non urgent » des consultations est cependant délicate [1,3,4]. Certains auteurs utilisent la 9 e révision de la classification internationale des maladies (CIM-9) [1,15].…”

“…The suitability of a PEMCS system is not evaluated from the viewpoint of the users residing in the medical region. In terms of reasons, it should be particularly pointed out that the socioeconomic vulnerabilities of non-urgent PED users have quantitatively been examined [7] [10] [11] [12] [13], and the anxiety about or reasons for PEMCS usage have qualitatively been examined by interviewing dozens of parents [5] [26] [29] [38] [39] [40] [41]. In sum, the mechanisms of multifarious risks causing non-urgent PED usage remain unknown, and the appropriate PEMCS to address the risks remain unknown.…”
