Dr. RW links to a Medscape article about a decision rule to admit TIAs. A paragraph stands out:
Currently, patients with a TIA are treated differently between hospitals in various medical settings, Dr. Johnston said. “For instance, some hospitals admit the majority of patients with TIA, as high as 80% or more; others admit very few patients “” fewer than 20% or 10% “” and in the UK, really none.”
I wonder (defensive medicine) why the variation between countries?
