Introduction: Epidemiological surveillance data for emergency department (ED) visits by children areimperative to guide resource allocation and to develop health policies that advance pediatric emergencycare. However, there are sparse population-based data on patient-level information (e.g., the number ofchildren who present to the emergency department [ED]).
