    Area of Science:

    • Health Services Research
    • Geographic Epidemiology
    • Statistical Modeling

    Background:

    • Understanding factors influencing Accident & Emergency (A&E) attendance is crucial for resource allocation and service planning.
    • Geographical and demographic variables are often implicated in healthcare utilization patterns.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To apply multiple regression analysis to identify significant geographical determinants of A&E attendance.
    • To clarify the complex interplay of variables affecting A&E service utilization.

    Main Methods:

    • Multiple regression analysis was employed to model A&E attendance.
    • Geographical and demographic data from catchment areas were utilized.

    Main Results:

    • Traveling distance to A&E services was identified as a significant factor.
    • The social status of the catchment area demonstrated a significant association with attendance rates.
    • The proportion of the population within the 15-29 age group was found to be a significant predictor.

    Conclusions:

    • Geographical factors, including distance and socioeconomic status, play a complex role in A&E attendance.
    • Demographic composition, specifically the 15-29 age bracket, is an important consideration in A&E utilization models.
