Role of Hospital Connectedness in Brain Metastasis Outcomes
This study found that hospital-to-hospital interconnectedness was significantly associated with improved clinical outcomes for patients with brain metastases. The salience of network metrics highlights their potential role alongside other patient-level and hospital-level variables to evaluate and improve oncology care delivery.
