Popis: | A retrospective survey concerning all patients ages 12-19 who had registered themselves at the admitting service of the paediatric emergency unit in the university hospital centre of Amiens was carried out in 1995. 2812 adolescents were received (18% of total admissions). The male/female sex-ratio was 1 to 3. The average age was 13.2 years old. Hospitalisations were more frequent in the spring and were predominantly on Mondays (17%). More than 2/3 of the adolescents were accompanied by their parents and 20% were referred by their doctors or by the SAMU (mobile emergency medical service). Two percent arrive alone. Traumatic pathology is the main reason for admission (1960 patients). Organic pathologies represent 24% of admissions and are essentially digestive pathologies (40%). "Suffering" adolescents (defined as those requiring an intervention with a psychotherapist as a matter of priority) only represent 6% of visits to the emergency unit, of which 2/3 correspond to suicide attempts. 24% of adolescents are hospitalised at the university hospital centre of Amiens within the paediatric services or specialised services (ENT, stomatology, etc.). |
