The Appropriatness Evaluation Protocol (AEP) was used in order to evaluate the appropriatness of the admissions.  Results: Eighteen admissions (4.5%) were inadecuated. There was a higher proportion of inappropriated admission (IA) when the physician responsible of the admission was a medical specialist (internal medicine, hematology or nephrology): odds ratio 5.3 in opposite to emergency physicians (p<0.03).  Conclusions: There was a low proportion of inadequate admissions (4.5%) and the risk of inappropriatness of the admission was major when it was ordered by a medical specialist.
