Abstract
Although factors related to a return visit to the emergency department (ED) have been reported, only a few studies have examined "high-risk" ED revisits with serious adverse outcomes. In this study we aimed to describe the incidence and trend of high-risk ED revisits in United States EDs and to investigate factors associated with these revisits.
