Abstract

The potentially inappropriate use of A and E for non-urgent conditions was common among all the patient groups considered and barriers to primary care may enhance this behavior among migrants. This situation could also explain the higher odds ratio for migrants’ hospitalization and discharge to ambulatory services after A and E visits. Copyright Swiss School of Public Health 2014
