Predicting Frequent Emergency Department Use by Pediatric Medicaid Patients.

The objective of this study was to determine the patient characteristics and health care utilization patterns that predict frequent emergency department (ED) use (≥4 visits per year) over time to assist health care organizations in targeting patients for care management. This was a retrospective, population-based study of 13,265 Medicaid children aged 0-20 years who were attributed to a single pediatric accountable care organization for at least 2 consecutive years between June 2012 and May 2015. Year-to-year persistence as a frequent ED user was 36.

The impact of fingernail psoriasis on patients' health-related and disease-specific quality of life.
