Even if the ACSC episode itself is managed well, an emergency admission for an ACSC is often symptom of overall poor quality of primary and community care. Lower socioeconomic status individuals show higher rates of hospitalization due to ACSCs. The purposes of this study is to examine the association between socioeconomic status and the risk of hospitalization due to an ACSC in pediatric population through a retrospective analysis of administrative data of the Abruzzo region.
