The cohort comprised the subset of 1,778 community-dwelling Americans who were age 70 years and older in 1984, had one or more subsequent hospital episodes, and died by 1991. Hospital …

Costs are predicted using regression analysis with readily available data from Health Care Financing Administration's Medicare Provider Analysis and Review. The specification incorporates the effect of referral patterns on volume and the subsequent impact on…
