At present, health expenditure should be regulated to ensure sustainability. With this intention, the emergency services must develop efficient behavior patterns. The appropriateness of hospital admissions is a determinant of good resource management. The purpose of this study is to determine the appropriateness of hospital admissions in our emergency department using internationally validated criteria. We note that 370 hospital admissions 95.1% (CI 92.4-96.9) were adequate while 4.8% (CI 3.1-7.5) were inadequate. No differences between adequacy ratio of hospital admissions depending on the age of the patients were identified. Conducting periodic surveys of its kind in the emergency services can contribute significantly to the sustainability of health systems.
