Rate and characteristics of urgent hospitalisation in persons with profound intellectual disabilities compared with general population

ConclusionsIn contrast to previous results reported for the group with ID as a whole, patients with PID consulting the emergency service were not admitted to hospital more frequently than the general population nor did they present a higher rate of inappropriate admissions. These results support the utility of maintaining two distinct groups of people with ID: mild‐moderate and severe‐profound.
