Background: Multiple listing (ML) is a practice used to increase the potential for transplant but is controversial due to concerns that it disproportionately benefits patients with greater access to health care resources.
Research Question: Is there disparity in ML practices based on social deprivation in the United States and does ML lead to quicker time to transplant?
Study Design And Methods: A retrospective cohort study of adult (≥ 18 years of age) lung transplant candidates listed for transplant (2005-2018) was conducted. Exclusion criteria included heart only or heart and lung transplant and patients relisted during the observation period.
Importance: The benefit of primary care physician (PCP) follow-up as a potential means to reduce readmissions in hospitalized patients has been found in other medical conditions and among patients receiving high-risk surgery. However, little is known about the implications of PCP follow-up for patients with an emergency general surgery (EGS) condition.
Objective: To evaluate the association between PCP follow-up and 30-day readmission rates after hospital discharge for an EGS condition.
Article Synopsis
- * This study sought to understand if visiting a primary care doctor before emergency surgeries is linked to lower mortality rates in older Black and White adults.
- * The research included over 102,000 Medicare patients aged 66 and older from US hospitals, analyzing their health outcomes based on prior primary care use before undergoing emergency general surgery.
