Hospital Selection Patterns for Emergency Surgical Care

High dispersion was associated with unfavorable clinical outcomes among EGS patients, with a greater effect for underserved groups. High variation in patterns of hospital access for emergency care likely reflects structural barriers to care and may be one mechanism contributing to the relationship between neighborhood social vulnerability and surgical outcomes.

Abstract

High dispersion was associated with unfavorable clinical outcomes among EGS patients, with a greater effect for underserved groups. High variation in patterns of hospital access for emergency care likely reflects structural barriers to care and may be one mechanism contributing to the relationship between neighborhood social vulnerability and surgical outcomes.
