Such additions would increase the validity of the study by widening its scope, even if the focus remains quantitative and retrospective.

The measurements appear to be consistent with the objective of the study, to relate specific elements of ED care with mortality rates.

The collection and analysis methods themselves are however consistent with research criteria.
Conclusions
