Females (63.1%; 143,493\/227,288) visited EDs more than males, and patients aged 50\u201360\u2009years (21.0%; 47,637\/227,288) visited most frequently. A total of 61.5% (93,789\/151,494) of ED visits were within 24\u2009h after headache onset, and 57.6% (131,056\/227,288) of visits were assigned to non\u2010urgent triage levels. The most frequent discharge codes were \u201cR51: Headache (not better specified)\u201d from the ED and ward, and \u201cI60: Subarachnoid hemorrhage\u201d from the intensive care unit. The rate of migraine diagnosis was 7.2% (16,471\/227,288). A total of 3.1% (7153\/227,288) of patients were diagnosed with life\u2010threatening secondary headaches, most commonly subarachnoid hemorrhage (1.2%; 2744\/227,288) and cerebral infarction (0.6%; 1341\/227,288).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In South Korea, the characteristics of patients who visited the ED for non\u2010traumatic headache were not very different from those in existing studies; however, patients tended to visit EDs early and be classified as non\u2010urgent, and emergency physicians tended to enter the diagnosis code \u201cR51: Headache (not better specified)\u201d, resulting in a much lower rate of migraine diagnoses. Non\u2010urgent early visitors coded with \u201cR51\u201d may include those who have not yet been diagnosed with primary headache and have not been treated, but who need further research.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Trial Registration<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Not applicable.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/head.14511","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,4]],"date-time":"2023-05-04T07:50:29Z","timestamp":1683186629000},"page":"795-804","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Characteristics of patients who visited emergency departments for headache in South Korea: A descriptive cross\u2010sectional study"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"63","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4299-9986","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Song Yi","family":"Park","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine, College of Medicine Dong\u2010A University Hospital, Dong\u2010A University  Busan South\u00a0Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7592-2921","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jiyoung","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology and Sleep Disorder Center, Bio Medical Research Institute, College of Medicine Pusan National University School of Medicine, Pusan National University Hospital  Busan South Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s10194-022-01402-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1468-2982.2006.01093.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/head.14230"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0196-0644(80)80152-1"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archneur.1997.00550240058013"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/emj.2003.012351"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1526-4610.1994.hed3402091.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/acem.13062"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0208728"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10194-009-0173-8"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s10194-019-1053-5"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s10194-019-1062-4"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_14_1","unstructured":"National Emergency Medical Center.
