Genre of Music Festivals as a Predictor for Medical Utilization Rate
In this observational study we found a clear difference in MUR in Electronic Dance Music events compared to Mainstream events with a higher percentage of drug-related cases in patients with more severe conditions at EDMF events. Our findings may help to better plan scarce medical resources at mass gatherings in the music scene and suggest that EDMF need a targeted approach for more drug-related pathology.
