Overall, there was a relatively low rate of benign brain tumour episodes of care (1.0 per 100,000; n = 211).
The rates of benign brain tumour episodes of care increased between fiscal years 2003/04 and 2006/07, after which it decreased slightly (Fig. 2 and Additional file 1).
The diagnostic challenge for clinician faced with acute or sub-acute chough is the identification of benign, self-limited episodes of mostly infection associated cough versus severe, potentially life-threatening diseases as the underlying cause of the presenting cough.

Thin basement membrane disease has traditionally been considered a relatively benign condition but recurrent episodes of AKI related to macroscopic haematuria may be considered a risk factor for chronic kidney disease progression and end-stage renal failure.
The number and rates of benign and unspecified brain tumour episodes of care identified in this study, despite being relatively low, provide evidence that current estimates of brain tumour episodes of care are underestimates, as they are limited to primary brain tumours.
Background: The majority of headache episodes of childhood are benign and self-limiting, anyway they frequently cause multiple accesses to the Pediatric Emergency Department (ED) [1-4].
The definition of benign paroxysmal torticollis should include recurrent episodes of one-sided head tilt with slight rotation, with onset in the first year.
For example, PCPs' involvement in episodes of knee degeneration and benign prostatic neoplasm may lead to more conservative treatment that emphasizes non-surgical interventions before concluding that surgery is needed.
