Fully agree that there's no point in tearing off for a PFO check. It's very rare that a fully researched diving history of the patient cannot (partially at least) explain the DCI, even after multiple hits. (Quite regularly multiple hits are caused by ignoring the advice given following the previous incident - but hey, it's your carcase !).
Stats, they exist in patients notes - but are so rare that you couldn't undertake a statistical trend exercise. If you make the surface, and a suitable pot, and your problem is DCI, (hmmm, 3 ifs) your chance of survival is higher than your chance of survival as a pedestrian in a city.
