    AbstractThe demand for home attention in the special emergency service of L'Hospitalet and Cornella de Llobregat (Barcelona) was evaluated. The data from a sample of 2046 requests for home attention were assessed, corresponding to the period between July 1st, 1985, and June 30th, 1986. This sample was randomly selected from overall 28385 home visits carried out during this period. The age group with the highest demand of care was the 0-14 years group. There was a high number of requests of care for banal symptoms. The most common group of diseases were the respiratory conditions. 83% of patients received some type of therapy. In 12% of cases, admission to a hospital was indicated; the most common cause of admission to a hospital was indicated; the most common cause of admission was cardiovascular disease. Emphasis is made on the importance of the coordination between primary care groups and special emergency services, as well as on the need for continuing education of professionals with specialties related to the care of emergencies and pediatrics.
