Clinical management options in response to case scenario 2. Likelihood of nine given clinical management options being followed in response to Case Scenario 2: A patient, who has a simple neck problem with no previous long-term problems, has now improved at least 80% and stayed at this level for a couple of weeks. The dotted lines demarcate a region of the chart outside of which management options were arbitrarily designated as ‘likely’ (upper line) or ‘unlikely’ (lower line) to be undertaken. In this instance, none of the management options were categorised by our criteria as likely by either Swiss or UK chiropractors; both groups were unlikely to stop to apologise and report to the incident reporting system; UK chiropractors were unlikely to try a few more times, or stop treatment and invite the patient to return as needed.
