Abstract
In full coherence with clinical logic, the healthcare system instigates prompt investigation of seriously ill patients. This likely explains the counter-intuitive findings of high mortality with short diagnostic intervals; but it does not explain the increasing mortality with longer diagnostic intervals. Thus, the study provides further evidence for the hypothesis that the length of the diagnostic interval affects mortality negatively.
