摘要：
BACKGROUND: The proportion of inadequate attendances at emergency department (ED) is 20-80%. PATIENTS ANO METHODS: The suitability of attendances at ED was evaluated using an Hospital Emergency Suitability Protocol, which was validated.

CONCLUSIONS: The suitability of attendances at ED are related with illness.
