Overview

Marked regional variation in CEA rates may signal inconsistent practice; leaves open drivers of disparities and need for standardization.

Structured PICO

P
Population
People aged ≥40 years in Canada (except Quebec) between 1994-1997
I
Intervention
Carotid endarterectomy (CEA)
O
Outcome
Rate of carotid endarterectomy per 100,000 people and regional variation

Carotid endarterectomy rates in Canada increased slightly from 1994 to 1997 but showed marked regional variation, highlighting potential inconsistencies in clinical practice and guideline application.
