School nurse, Warwickshire, 1990 An elderly man (in his 90s) was brought in by ambulance and due to his presenting complaint, age and the fact that it was 1am, it was highly likely that he would be admitted to a medical ward for further investigation, as there is only a limited amount of investigation we can do in the four hour window that is A&E.
Table 3 shows the association between in-hospital occupancy level and probability for admission, with confounding factors from presenting complaint, age group, referral status, triage priority, presentation on a shift experiencing many visits, presentation on night shift/weekend, sex, LWBS, and entering the ED via primary triage taken into account.
Multivariate models were constructed in an attempt to take confounding factors from, e.g., presenting complaints, age, referral status, and triage priority into account.

The selected data set is composed of two groups of right-handed participants: 21 older healthy subjects without memory complaints (age 70.7±6.0, range 60 to 81 years; 13 female) and 18 patients with mild AD (age 70.7±7.2 years, range 59 to 79 years; 9 female).
Duration of complaints, age, radiation into the arm s), and the presence of concomitant headache were recorded.
SB-PS was administered daily for 12 weeks to 30 elderly volunteers with memory complaints (age range 50 90 years).
Screened variables were the 10 most common presenting complaints, age-group, referral status, triage priority, presentation on a shift experiencing many visits (see definition below), presentation on night shift and during weekends, sex, leaving without being seen (LWBS), entering ED via primary triage, time to physician and in-hospital occupancy.
The study population consists of tinnitus sufferers referred to the TCL, with subjective tinnitus complaints, aged 18 years and older.
40 Dutch GPs recruited consecutive patients with incident knee complaints aged 12 years and above from October 2001 to October 2003.
Breath samples were collected after written informed consent from 160 volunteers with gastric complaints, aged 27 73 years, at the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University (Hefei, China) (see Table 1).
