Improving the Evaluation of Low-Volume Hospitals
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Low volume has been recognized as a problem when benchmarking hospitals due to outcome rate instability. We asked if low-volume hospital outcomes, using matching to control for many clinical and sociodemographic characteristics, would expose quality problems not observed with CMS methods. RESEARCH DESIGN: Matched cohort study. Grades derive from mortality differences between all patients at the low-volume hospital and th…
Grading Hospitals Using Multivariate Matching
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: To improve upon existing hospital grading systems, we developed a new report card based on multivariate matching. RESEARCH DESIGN: Matched cohorts. For each focal hospital patient, we match 10 control patients treated at "well-resourced" hospitals with excellent hospital characteristics from across the nation, and 10 control patients treated at "typical" hospitals, on over 300 patient characteristics from Medicare Claim…
The Safety of Performing Surgery at Ambulatory Surgery Centers Versus Hospital Outpatient Departments in Older Patients With or Without Multimorbidity
BACKGROUND: Surgery for older Americans is increasingly being performed at ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) rather than hospital outpatient departments (HOPDs), while rates of multimorbidity have increased. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether there are differential outcomes in older patients undergoing surgical procedures at ASCs versus HOPDs. RESEARCH DESIGN: Matched cohort study. SUBJECTS: Of Medicare patients, 30,958 were treated in 2018 and 2019…
Comparing Resource Use in Medical Admissions of Children With Complex Chronic Conditions
BACKGROUND: Children with complex chronic conditions (CCCs) utilize a disproportionate share of hospital resources. OBJECTIVE: We asked whether some hospitals display a significantly different pattern of resource utilization than others when caring for similar children with CCCs admitted for medical diagnoses. RESEARCH DESIGN: Using Pediatric Health Information System data from 2009 to 2013, we constructed an inpatient Template of 300 children wi…
Defining Multimorbidity in Older Surgical Patients
BACKGROUND: There are numerous definitions of multimorbidity (MM). None systematically examines specific comorbidity combinations accounting for multiple testing when exploring large datasets. OBJECTIVES: Develop and validate a list of all single, double, and triple comorbidity combinations, with each individual qualifying comorbidity set (QCS) more than doubling the odds of mortality versus its reference population. Patients with at least 1 QCS …
