The age difference was significant
They've had more bloodstream infections, surgical infections, and falls. Everything which traces back to staff cuts and lack of hygiene.
Also they dumped the complicated, and probably expensive cases to real hospitals In contrast, transfers to other acute care hospitals increased 12.2% at private equity hospitals compared with control hospitals
A 1 month average age difference is not medically significant.
They had more bloodstream infections yep. Surgical infections was NOT statistically significant. And again, mortality went down!!
The “dumping cases” thing is incredibly suspicious. So they’re so motivated by money that they … don’t keep patients who would spend a lot? On top of that, the 30 day mortality doesn’t show an increase, which is what you’d see if they dumped deaths onto other hospitals.
