Abstract
The ability to quickly rule in or rule out conditions effectively strongly influenced the decision to order CT (85%-99%). Fear of litigation influenced CT ordering for those with less experience [odds ratio (OR)=2.3, P<.05]. Residents and primary care physicians were less likely to discuss risks/benefits of CT with patients (Pâ¤.03) compared to those with >5 years of experience (OR=4.0, P=.04).
