Try solving this in less than 2 minutes....
There is a great deal of geographical variation in the frequency of many surgical procedures тАУ up to tenfold variation per hundred thousand between different areas in the numbers of hysterectomies, prostatectomies, and tonsillectomies.
To support a conclusion that much of the variation is due to unnecessary surgical procedure, it would be most important to establish which of the following ?
A)A local board of review to each hospital examines the records of every operation to determine whether the surgical procedure was necessary.
B)The variation is unrelated to factors (other than the surgical procedures themselves) that influence the incidence of diseases for which surgery might be considered.
C)There are several categories of surgical procedure (other than hysterectomies, prostatectomies, and tonsillectomies) that are often performed unnecessarily.
D)For certain surgical procedures, it is difficult to determine after the operation whether the procedures were necessary or whether alternative treatment would have succeeded.
E)With respect to how often they are performed unnecessarily, hysterectomies, prostatectomies, and tonsillectomies are representative of surgical procedures in general.

The correct answer is B. It would be inspiring to hear any comments on why though.

I had no idea this was a question from the offical guide (I haven't gone throgugh it yet...) I'll look up the explanation there, thanks.
We are not Europeans in Uruguay... we are South Americans... I myself am also an European citizen (Spain) by the way... but that is just my case...
