          Abstract

          Resumen: Introducción: los Servicios de Urgencias son frecuentados, con un elevado índice, por neonatos con patología banal y dudas de puericultura. Nuestro objetivo es analizar, en neonatos, la adecuación del uso de Urgencias. Material y métodos: análisis de los informes de los neonatos que acudieron al Servicio de Urgencias del Hospital Marina Salud de Denia (Alicante, España) durante el año 2014 y de la adecuación del uso de Urgencias según los nuevos criterios establecidos: ingreso hospitalario, derivación, clasificación y exploraciones complementarias. Resultados: los Servicios de Urgencias son utilizados por neonatos con patología considerada no urgente, llanto, irritabilidad o malestar (32,08%), y vómitos o regurgitaciones del recién nacido (13,21%), siendo el diagnóstico de alta más frecuente el de normalidad (20%). Según los criterios de adecuación establecidos para el uso del Servicio de Urgencias neonatales, el 63,50% de los motivos de consulta neonatal no fueron adecuados. Conclusiones: la mayoría de las consultas de neonatos son catalogadas como uso no adecuado de los Servicios de Urgencias y deberían por tanto manejarse en Atención Primaria.

          Abstract: Introduction: a high proportion of newborn visits to emergency departments correspond to non-urgent conditions and concerns regarding newborn care. Our aim was to assess the appropriate of emergency department use in newborns. Materials and methods: analysis of discharge summaries of newborns that attended the emergency department of the Hospital Marina Salud de Denia (Alicante, Spain) in year 2014 and the appropriateness of emergency department use based on newly established criteria: hospital admission, referral, triage and diagnostic testing. Results: emergency services were used by newborns for conditions considered non-urgent, crying, irritability or malaise (32.08%), and vomiting or regurgitation of the newborn (13.21%), and the most frequent discharge diagnosis was normal health (20%). Based on the appropriateness criteria established for the use of neonatal emergency services, 63.50% of the reasons for neonatal visits were inappropriate. Conclusions: most neonatal visits were categorised as inappropriate use of emergency services and should therefore have been managed in primary care.

          Factors influencing infant visits to emergency departments.

          To follow the 1995 birth cohort of infants, born in the State of Missouri, through their first birthday to: 1) examine their rates of visits to emergency departments (EDs), 2) identify predictors of any ED visit, 3) examine rates of nonurgent ED visits, and 4) identify predictors of nonurgent visits. This was a retrospective population cohort study. Using deterministic linkage procedures, 2 databases at the Missouri Department of Health (DOH; (the patient abstract database and the birth registry database) were linked by DOH personnel. International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision-Clinical Modification codes for ED visits were classified as emergent, urgent, or nonurgent by 2 researchers. Eight newborn characteristics were chosen for analysis. Negative binomial regression was used to examine the rates and predictors of both total and nonurgent ED visits. There were 935 total ED visits and 153 nonurgent ED visits per 1000 infant years. The average number of visits was.94, with 59% of infants having no visits, 21% having 1 ED visit, and 20% having 2 or more visits. Factors associated with increases in both total and nonurgent ED visits were Medicaid, self-pay, black race, rural region, presence of birth defects, and a nursery stay of >2 days. Significant interactions were found between Medicaid and race and Medicaid and rural regions on rates of ED use and nonurgent use. The highest rate of ED use, 1.8 per person year, was seen in white, rural infants on Medicaid, and the lowest rate (.4 per person year) was seen in urban white infants not on Medicaid. The highest rates of nonurgent use,.3 per person year, were among urban and rural Medicaid infants of both races and among black infants on commercial insurance. The lowest nonurgent rate,.04 per person year, was seen in white urban infants on commercial insurance. Infants in the State of Missouri have high rates of ED visits. Nonurgent visits are only a small portion of ED visits and cannot explain large variations in ED usage. Increased ED use by Medicaid patients may reflect continuing difficulties in accessing primary care.

            Early neonatal presentations to the pediatric emergency department.

            As a result of shorter postpartum hospital stays, many medical concerns, which traditionally have been managed in newborn nurseries, are presenting to the pediatric emergency department (PED). We undertook a study to determine the profile of early neonatal visits to the PED. In addition, we examined the influence of maternal factors and length of postpartum hospital stay on PED visits.
