OBJECTIVE: To analyze the prevalence and characteristics of @entity1 with @entity101 crises and to know the clinical differences between @entity1 with @entity101 urgencies and @entity1 with @entity101 @entity341 . @entity1 AND METHODS: Three-months prospective study in which all @entity1 attended at the Emergency Department with an @entity101 crisis (arterial blood pressure of at least 210/120 mmHg) were included.

Twenty-four percent of @entity1 were @entity6 . @entity1 with @entity101 @entity341 had more involvement of target organs. Twenty-four percent of crises resolved with no therapy, and @entity3371 was the most commonly used drug. CONCLUSIONS: @entity101 crises accounted for 0.65% of attended @entity341 at our institution. @entity301 was the most common @entity558 for @entity101 @entity341 . @entity1 with @entity101 @entity341 had a more severe involvement of target organs.
