Elderly people are susceptible to develop multiple chronic diseases and are thus likely to utilize the emergency department (ED). Access to health care and health outcomes may differ between rural and urban areas. This study aims to compare the frequency and outcome of geriatric ED utilization between urban and rural areas.
