the demand for pediatric care in the 
Emergency Department of the NS Candelaria University Hospital and its characteristics, determining the user's profile, its main causes and the factors that 
influenced it.The study was a cross-sectional descriptive study of patients aged 
0-14 years and companions, who requested urgent assistance during 
01/01/31/12/2006. The data sources 
were: 1-Computer Service of the hospital 
for patient data and characteristics of 
care, 2-history of emergency for the 
reasons and diagnosis at discharge, and 
3-telephone interview for socio-economic 
data and causes that motivated the visit. 
The sample was calculated in 400 cases 
to estimate the relative frequencies of the 
characteristics of interest with a reliability 
of 95% and an error of 5% considering 
that they would be manifested in 50%. 
For the estimation of the relative frequencies, SPSS 15.0® was used.The 
sample consisted of 407 children who in 
82% of the cases came at the initiative of 
the companions, for non-specific, digestive or respiratory problems in 73%, the 
parents were married (64%), with primary 
studies (50%) , medium / low socioeconomic level (62%), used hospital emergency services for their proximity (18%), 
for perceiving them with a higher level of resources (19%), faster attention (23%) 
and ignorance of services of pediatric 
emergencies and pediatric specialists in 
Primary Care.In conclusion, indicate the 
need to develop education and health 
information programs focused on users 
for the rational use of hospital pediatric 
emergency services.
