Article Synopsis
- This study investigated whether public hospital rankings could predict surgical outcomes by analyzing data from patients undergoing nine different surgical procedures in Florida and New York between 2011 and 2013.
- A total of 229,657 patients across 177 hospitals were included, and the results showed that decision trees performed best in predicting inpatient mortality and complications, with an accuracy of 83%.
- The findings indicated that while hospital rankings may not reliably predict outcomes for all procedures, they could be significant for certain groups when combined with other quality measures, highlighting the need for consistent evaluation of hospital performance.
