We have studied the procedence of the children that came to the Emergency Department of the Niño Jesús Hospital, analyzing if they belonged to the pediatric emergency area corresponding to this hospital, the procedence from the different postal districts of Madrid, from other localities of the Madrid Community, or from the Health Areas of this Community. We found that only 12.42% of the children came from the corresponding area of the emergency care sectorization, and that they came from very disperse zones, having no clear relation with any of the Health Care Areas. We conclude that current sectorization of the pediatric emergencies in hospitals is not being usefull, and we suggest alternative solutions.
