The need for an additional admissions test has been for three reasons.
Additional admissions apply for some events.
In addition, demands by patients' families for further treatment of patients' complaints, as well as pressure to vacate emergency room beds for new patients, resulted in additional admissions.
This could bias the results in favour of the London reconfiguration if the additional admissions were for less severe strokes, but there are no discernible differences in severity between London, Greater Manchester, and the rest of England (table A, appendix).
For an acute hospital like ours, this might mean 15-25 admissions admissions per week – which, with average stays for older people of more than 10 days, could mean the need for an additional ward.
Additional admissions will be $5 each.
The Art Institute of Chicago, 111 South Michigan Avenue, (312) 443-3600, www.artic.edu, is open daily; general admission, $10; no additional admission for the exhibition.
Most museums charge additional admission fees for special exhibitions; the Museum of Modern Art, for instance, is charging $20 a ticket, which includes museum admission, for "Matisse Picasso," which opens at its temporary space in Queens next month.
Musculoskeletal diseases, mainly rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and osteoporosis are associated among older people with a loss of independence and a need for additional support or admission to residential care.
