Anyone bored? I am trying to find how many pediatric (up to 18 years old) ER visits there are for "abdominal pain" in the US per year.

Looking for the general "abdominal pain"

I found all the other stats I need.. except this on. Found one which had kids as 15 and below, but I need up to 18 or even up to 21.

Thanks :) If you are bored ...

I went once at 18, and left my appendix there later that night. -- nm - peglegpete Mar 24, 22:41 1

wouldn't abdominal issues be confused with other problems like diarehia, vomiting - zeitgeist Mar 24, 22:35 2
- You'd be surprised how often my daughter claimed abdominal pain when she was in high school. A more caring mom would quite likely have - MojaveMeg Mar 24, 22:43
- Diarrhea and vomiting actually get separated from abdominal pain (in the stats I have seen). I am just looking for a number to add content - James Bond (aka Igor) Mar 24, 22:41
