Consultation determinants in a multicenter study of respiratory patients in Berlin, Germany	2020-09-10		.txt	text/plain	7367	376	42	Determinants of SRW consultation identified by logistic regression were younger age (p < 0.001), tertiary education (p = 0.032), being a first-generation migrant (p = 0.002) or tourist (p = 0.008), having no regular primary care provider (p = 0.036) and no chronic pulmonary illness (p = 0.017). Personal distress and access problems in ambulatory care were stated most frequently as consultation motives in the SRW group; network analysis showed the scarcity of associations between demographic and medical SRW determinants and motives triggering the actual decision to consult. To gain a deeper understanding of ED utilization determinants in a population with an exemplary symptomatology, we aimed to comprehensively explore demographic and medical characteristics as well as consultation motives of self-referred walk-in ED patients presenting with respiratory symptoms. The multicenter mixed methods EMACROSS (Emergency and Acute Care for Respiratory Diseases beyond Sectoral Separation) study investigates characteristics, motives and health care utilization of patients with respiratory symptoms in a network of eight EDs in the central district of Berlin, Germany (Berlin-Mitte).	./cache/cord-344431-2wq7msqz.txt	./txt/cord-344431-2wq7msqz.txt
