This study found that almost half of the patients brought to the hospital after calling 112 with an 'unclear problem' were discharged with a 'non-specific diagnosis' which might seem trivial but should be explored more as these contributed the second-highest to the total number of deaths after 30 days only exceeded by 'circulatory diseases'.
