Document: As in the US and Europe, PER utilization rates continue to increase in Korea (13) (14) (15) (16) . Especially in pediatric patients, the proportion of non-emergency patients with mild symptoms is relatively greater than that of adults who visit the ED (17) (18) (19) . Despite an increase in the number of primary care pediatric clinics since the 2000s in Korea, it was confirmed that the ratio of nonemergency patient visits to tertiary hospital EDs was still too high (15) . Our results showed a decline in the number of non-emergency visits to the ED after the MERS outbreak. This means that there have been a relatively high number of cases of non-emergency ED visits and that another system other than the ED (i.e., after-hours clinics) could handle these needs.
