“…The article by Tranquada et al in this issue of The Journal of Emergency Medicine (JEM) gives us insight into why patients seek care in the ED instead of other settings (1). It helps dispel the myth of the inverse relationship between lack of primary care and ED visits by patients deemed retrospectively to be "nonurgent."…”

“…De todas maneras es importante remarcar que el hecho de no poseer tarjeta sanitaria no impide el uso libre y gratuito de los servicios de urgencia tanto del CS como de los SUH. Este es un hecho central para la interpretación de los resultados en el caso de España porque, como señalan algunos autores, la falta de un servicio de atención en salud habitual se convierte en un factor importante que predispone al uso de los SUH por problemas de salud de baja complejidad (Afilalo, et al, 1995;Rubin, Bonnin, 1995;Gill, et al, 2000;Sarver, et al, 2002;Han, et al, 2007;Lowthian, et al, 2010;Tranquada, et al, 2010).…”

“…En relación con la utilización de los SUH, existe un consenso más o menos generalizado entre los expertos en el área de urgencias y emergencias, según el cual, el número de consultas que realizan los SUH se ha incrementado de manera significativa en todos los países desarrollados en los últimos años (Alonso, et al, 1993;Sempere-Selva, T., et al, 2001;Richardson, Hwang, 2001a;Richardson, Hwang, 2001b;Sempere-Selva, T., et al 2001;Richardson, et al, 2002;Hwang, Concato, 2004;Ragin, D., et al, 2005;Pasarin, M., et al, 2006;Zaragoza, 2009;Tranquada, et al, 2010). En el caso de Estados Unidos, por ejemplo, según The National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey de 2006, el total de urgencias atendidas aumentó de 90,3 millones en 1996 a 119,2 en 2006.…”

“…In one study, on 22,977 primary care patients, seen in "lowresource" communities, the most common presenting symptoms were general pain, upper respiratory tract symptoms, skin disorders, eye irritation, dyspepsia, and nonspecific abdominal complaints [1]. With increasing frequency, the Emergency Department is being used to replace the primary care physicians [2]. Of the 975 patients questioned, 70.4% (686/975) stated that they had a Primary Care Provider, and 38.1 % (252/661) of the sample had attempted to contact their physicians before presenting to the ED.…”

Of the group who attempted to contact their physicians, 62.8% (130) were neither spoken to nor seen by any doctor [2]. In one study of 3163 emergency rooms visits, disease.…”
