Health Insurance and Interhospital Transfer for Critically Ill Patients With Respiratory Failure
In this cohort study, a lack of health insurance was associated with lower odds of interhospital transfer and higher odds of mortality among critically ill patients. The findings suggest a need to better understand drivers of the interhospital transfer process and ensure that decisions for transfer are made equitably to improve outcomes for critically ill patients.
