A study of 100 consecutive emergency medical admissions to Oldchurch Hospital was made to establish if the mode of referral--either by the general practitioner or self referral--influenced the presentation and severity of illness and the eventual outcome. Of the 94 cases analysed, 55 were self referred and 39 were sent in by their general practitioners. No significant differences were found between the two groups of patients, which suggests that the patient (or the patient's family or companion) is as discriminating as the general practitioner in deciding when emergency referral to hospital is necessary.
对奥尔德彻奇医院连续收治的100例急诊患者进行了一项研究，以确定转诊方式（由全科医生转诊或自行转诊）是否会影响疾病的表现、严重程度及最终结果。在分析的94例病例中，55例为自行转诊，39例由全科医生送来。两组患者之间未发现显著差异，这表明在决定何时需要紧急转诊至医院时，患者（或患者家属或陪同人员）与全科医生一样具有辨别能力。
