It is estimated that between 58% and 82% of children and young people who present to paediatric emergency department (PEDs) have a non-urgent condition. This systematic review of the literature explores why parents of children with non-urgent conditions present to the PED rather than to community healthcare services. Five databases were searched for studies on children and young people's presentations to the PED for the treatment of a non-urgent condition, as identified by a low priority triage code. This article describes and discusses the findings of the 18 included studies.
