Abstract
The existence of geographical variations in the incidence of tonsil and adenoid operations was reviewed. The epidemiological data implied that the differences in the geographical incidence of operations in childhood might be created by differences in medical practices rather than resulting from the difference in disease incidence.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
